« En rédigeant mes mémoires, qui sont parues en Russie, j’ai eu l’impression sûrement très subjective d’être avant tout un compositeur : ce jugement n’engage bien sûr que moi-même. Il est tout à fait probable qu’il n’en soit rien, puisque je ne suis pratiquement connu que comme chef ! Je me suis sans doute moins consacré à la composition que je l’aurais voulu… Mais je reste maître de mon destin. »
Diapason, France, 1996
