WHEN I put it to Colin Davis that conductors live long lives and go on until they drop, the observation got the withering response it probably deserved. “Apparently they do,” he said, and lapsed into a ruminative silence that I took as encouragement to change the subject.

A Wonderful interview with one of my favourite conductors, Sir Colin Davis.
