Virginai Zeani is a second mother to me. She has been a pillar in my life

in numerous ways. From the moment I met her, I was completely taken

by her generosity, truthfulness, and sage knowledge. She taught me how

to make the music feel, and how to make the audience feel, by feeling

it myself, but not too much. The music must be vital, alive and full of the

energy the character is feeling. It must also be comfortably consistent.

I love her dearly.
