Overseas, especially in England, I was an adult star before I was an adult star in America. But here, they didn`t take me seriously until that night on "The Perry Como Show" (1948). I remember it was a Wednesday night, and I had a concert at Carnegie Hall...
Connie Francis
On NYC: "I feel closer to my background there, closer to Carnegie Hall as well as Europe. It`s a city where you feel anything is possible, which makes life fun and interesting."
Lori Singer
You get more nervous in front of a lot of people. That`s why, when you play a concerto, you play with a small orchestra, in some place where you don`t feel that it is as important as Carnegie Hall.
Itzhak Perlman
You can think of a lot of ways that would be wholly inappropriate, since they play in Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall and London and Tokyo and so on. I didn`t want to ask them to wear boots onstage.
B. Michael Quale
When you play a concerto with a small orchestra, you don`t feel it is as important as Carnegie Hall. You try to work out all the little problems. Once that`s all done, trust comes in.
Itzhak Perlman
That night at Carnegie Hall was a great experience. When the thing was first put up to me I was a little dubious, not knowing just what would be expected of us.
Benny Goodman
My first hip-hop performance was at Carnegie Hall with Wyclef, ... I got a little feature and he announced me as the `hip-hop violinist.` The next night I played at the Apollo.
Miri Ben-Ari
It`s every musician`s dream to play in Carnegie Hall. Just think of the musical history that`s taken place on that stage. It`s cool to be a part of that.
Anjessa Evans
I feel I have had a very interesting life, but I am rather hoping there is still more to come. I still haven`t captained the England cricket team, or sung at Carnegie Hall!
Jeffrey Archer
[This week Marcel listened to the just-rediscovered tapes of a 1957 session of the Thelonious Monk quartet with John Coltrane, at Carnegie Hall.] Hugely exciting. Two geniuses at their peak. ... Absorbing and imaginative - they never met in real life.
Mary Stuart
Everywhere in the world, music enhances a hall, with one exception: Carnegie Hall enhances the music.
Isaac Stern
