Q: “Do you enjoy playing in Massey Hall, is that a hall that feels good for you?”

A: “Yes, I like it because I like a big place, enormous place, not the ... of course, not sport palace where there is too much reverb or echo, you see? You see the sound goes through there you see, and I can feel that. But sometimes … the most difficult place to play for a violinist or maybe other instruments, I don’t know, but for string, in my opinion, is TV, television studio because it’s flat, do you see what I mean? There is no vibration at all.
