Charlie Rose: What's your favorite symphony in the world now? Sir- - Georg Solti

Fight the tendency to become complacent and do one kind of music - that is the death of a musician.

In my orchestra, I hate slackness, idle talk and lost time. I always hated this and still hate it. But I can achieve much more when I am quiet and not shouting.

Georg Solti: There isn't any. There isn't any for me. This is a question for amateurs. Amateurs have favorite symphonies. A pro never have favorites. The favorite is what I am doing now, today. That's my favorite.
