Wolfgangsee
Imperial Villa
Bad Ischl (Austria) ... not only the Emperor's summer residence but also attractive domicile for Anton Bruckner, Johannes Brahms, Johann Strauß and Franz Lehár. walking around feels like another century.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Wonderful time and great collaboration with John Malkovich on tour.
One of the most moving moments in my life was to play the Hatikva, the Israeli National Anthem, with the Israel Chamber Orchestra in Bayreuth. July 2011.
Roberto Paternostro and Zubin Mehta in Tel Aviv - discussions about Israel and its relationship to Richard Wagner's works in October 2010.
With Herbert von Karajan at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, 1981. Karajan and Swarowsky have been the most influential teachers when I was a young conductor.

Inspiring encouters which started long before we met in Israel: with Zubin Mehta, chief conductor of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
