"Meine Liebe zu Bach ließ mich Musiker werden. Alles was mich interessierte, war von ihm geprägt. ... Es ist kaum vorstellbar, dass der größte Musiker der Geschichte, dessen Werk uns noch heute magnetisch anzieht und der Maßstab der musikalischen Kunst der letzten zwei Jahrhunderte ist, mit seiner Musik keine Wirkung erzielte, bei Musikern und Publikum seiner Zeit. ... Bach war der größte Nonkonformist der Musikgeschichte."
