Sir Simon Rattle quoted in a recent interview:
Actually you never eyeball a horn player. That’s one of the real rules. You just don’t. They’re stuntmen. You don’t eyeball stuntmen just before they’re about to go near death.
That’s really true. You also never tell a horn player you played beautifully last time just before a concert. You see that look. They look at you and they’re always thinking, I could die now. And you know there’s something else behind the eyes.
That’s really a truth. And so you have to let them do their very difficult thing without too much disturbing.
