LSM: What made you leave Sony Classical for Deutsche Grammophon?

HH: That's easy: my contract was finished. It was for five recordings over six years,
and that had been done. You know, when a contract like that is finished you want to sign another one,
but it has to be discussed. During my first contract the CDs were a success and the relationship
with Sony Classical was very productive, but when it was time to sign a second contract,
things seemed to proceed less naturally, for various reasons. We didn't see future projects
from the same angle, and it was a kind of mutual separation. I'd heard that Deutsche Grammophon
had shown some interest, and of course it's an excellent label. I discussed it with them
and had a much more positive response about my future projects. What's more,
certain projects were already in the works, and D.G. agreed to take them on
as planned--something that I very much appreciated.
