I have noticed in my long career that if I am really tired or I have a flu coming on that it's felt. Everybody gets into that mode, and pretty soon, they're playing as sluggishly as I'm conducting. I have learned to come to rehearsal fresh, energetic, projecting enthusiasm and go-go-go. It's got to be irresistible. If I don't think I'm up to it, I take a cold shower. That's my job — to energize people. If they grind it out and couldn't care less, then they wind up hating you and themselves because it's not why they practiced all of their lives. Emotion is what it's all about. Music making without emotion and passion is nothing.
