Richard Hickox talks about his preparation for the Philharmonia Orchestra's up-coming Vaughan Williams series.
''When I’m conducting a piece for the first time I start with the music, the absolute music and with the score. I might listen to one recording once just to give me a very quick entrance into that sound world... And I think when I’m studying the score I’m trying to be very conscious of the structure of a piece so you find out where the peak of a movement is... So you are finding the architecture, and there’s no shortcut to that, you can’t do that through listening to records, you have to study.''
