Hi Renée, I'm a loyal fan. When working with conductors, how do you find the delicious balance of musical decision-making and collaboration has changed over the course of your career? For instance, with your superb musical knowledge and experience across such a vast swath of repertoire, what can a conductor possibly bring to the table that you haven't already thought of at this point, save for some new work or a work that is new to you? And how do you work out those interperative differences now versus in the past? Of course, this must vary greatly by conductor, both in terms of personality and in terms of experience. That said, what has been the general course throughout your career? How has that interplay evolved over time? What happens when you simply and honestly disagree about a tempo or how to structure a portion of accompagnato?
