“The quartet managed to get to the pure springs. The transcendent relationship was established and the miracle took place during the concert. We could leave the day off for about an hour and a half. At the end we smiled at each other. One was thinking about the harmony and the vibrations of the world, while others were exultant. It was a miracle!” Peter Somogyvari - JazzMa
