Conductor Jiří Bělohlávek

„Only in fairy tales is the baton a kind of magic wand, capable of something supernatural. In reality, only a human being can endow it with magic, a person who knows in advance what he or she expects from the music and who can convey this knowledge to the players.“

— Jiří Bělohlávek
