THC: This seems to be a common problem. What do you think the nature of the gap between performance and representation?
TK: CDs are people making music, but they're not making it now. We forget that symphony orchestras can't be put in jewel cases. When you perform for people, you can get a sense of how you're doing. If you're doing we'll and people are enjoying it, you do better. You rise to the occasion and things come out that you didn't know you had in you. Other days, nothing goes right and you go through the motions. Music is not just what I do; it's an interaction among people.
