Lorin Maazel

"On Saturday May 12, 2012 a historic finale to the Malko Competition for Young Conductors saw the light of night. The three winners will make sterling, brilliant careers. The First Prize, Rafael Payare from Venzuela, will make his debut at the Castleton Festival on July 7, 2012. In the years to come, he will go to the top. Antonio Mendez, 2nd Prize, and Kristina Poska 3rd will be heard from in a major way. Our achievement in finding and guiding these superb talents to the Finale is due to a remarkable jury and a truly great orchestra, the Danish Radio Symphony. I'm deeply indebted to all, jury, contestants, and orchestra for their invaluable contribution." - Lorin Maazel

On February 18th, I was most honored in being given the opportunity of paying homage to one of the conductor-gods of my youth, Bruno Walter, at an event presented by the Vienna Philharmonic at the Musikverein. I spoke of his delicate and musicianly interpretations that so influenced my generation. I spoke of his charm and self-deprecating humor. On this occasion as well, the General Manager of the Vienna State Opera kindly praised my time as his predecessor in 1982/84. I was so embarrassed by excessive praise that all I could say in response was 'thank you.' - Lorin Maazel
