Quoted in Oskar von Riesemann (trans. Dolly Rutherford) Rachmaninoff's Recollections (New York: Macmillan, 1934) p. 155.

What place is this?
Where are we now?</p

Leonard Bernstein photo

“Perhaps the chief requirement of [the conductor] is that he be humble before the composer; that he never interpose himself between the music and the audience; that all his efforts, however strenuous or glamorous, be made in the service of the composer's meaning - the music itself, which, after all, is the whole reason for the conductor's existence.”

Leonard Bernstein (1918–1990) American composer, conductor, author, music lecturer, and pianist

The Cambridge Companion to Conducting p. 16.
