“There is another perspective on things perhaps. You enjoy every moment more, every moment, to make music, what a privilege it is to make music.  And every day to see the sunrise is really a miracle, it sounds like a cliché but it's true, it's really like that. Because I know that time is limited. Music can be a comfort, yes... The music of Mozart, Brahms, a lot of things, Bach… but also working with the orchestra, with the Paris Chamber Orchestra, they have really become my friends and to make music between friends and to be in the process of working together on a piece of music that we love, we forget everything and that's what is really great about working on a piece.” Lars Vogt
