Charles Munch Conductor Quotations

The conductor must breathe life into the score. It is you and you alone who must expose it to the understanding, reveal the hidden jewel to the sun at the most flattering angles.

I believe that every human being endowed with intelligence, memory, and strength of character bears within him a little of thc supernatural as well. The highest purpose of the conductor is to release this superhuman potential in every one of his musicians.
