Of course the death of Geoffrey has caused a lot of trauma to me generally.

I mean a German person would never do it like that, it would be very serious, you know, systematic, but a Spanish person it takes another kind of way.

I am very conscious in what I am choosing. Maybe sometimes I put something there and I make a mistake, but it is not because I want to make a mistake.

When I begin to sing, I realised I am the only one in the family that has something to earn a little money, and so I found myself being a singer.

This quality, I mean Geoffrey was with me, was very easy doing - he loved me very much, I loved him very much, and we understood each other so well that it was a pleasure to make music.

I don't like traditions, I am very personal, very independent, I don't like intimate ladies, I mean in German lieder there's a lot of copy, a lot of imitation, a lot of tradition, and this I have put it aside.

And after I compose my programs, but it is very easy because I look to the music in a very natural way without fuss, and so I look always music, in my home, like books and books and books, choose books and you read the pages, so I do this with music, and I make programs.

To search for a pianist, it is very difficult; sometimes you find one.

With Geoffrey, it was the first time we did music together, we understood that everything could be well, and without any problem. And we didn't need to rehearse too much.

I must say to you that my intensions for instance doing German, it is because Victoria de los Angeles is nothing to do with wanting to be like a German singer.
