I'm one of the boys, no better than the last second violinist. I'm just the lucky one to be standing in the center, telling them how to play.
"Eugene Ormandy" was a Hungary/Hungarian-born conducting/conductor and violinist who became internationally famous as the music director and conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. The maestro's 44-year-long association with the Philadelphia is one of the longest enjoyed by any conductor with a single orchestra. Under his baton, the Philadelphia had three Music recording sales certification/gold records and won two Grammy Awards.

Thank you for your cooperation and vice versa.
Congratulations to each and every one of you for the concert last night in New York and vice versa.
Who is sitting in that empty chair?
There was confusion since I stood here 35 years ago.
Beauty is less important than quality.
I conduct faster so you can see my beat.
Don't ever follow me, because I am difficult.
