More about Dorian

What do I like to listen to? 

When I was about eight years old my father gave me a record by Glenn Gould, 'the little Bach book', I turned this record completely gray, this is where my love for music began. I like to listen to Zelenka's Trio Sonatas when I make reeds, it makes me happy and motivated. Christian Gerhaher sings Schubert's Abschied so beautifully. Eino Tamberg's Concerto Grosso, just a nice reminder of our wonderful time with Neeme Järvi. What great music. Carmen Linares, Cantinas, I got to play with her and have fond memories of her and the wonderful Cajon player (Antonio Coronel). As soon as I listen to Flamenco music my inner thunderclouds disappear and the sun shines, olé!
