“We are wordless, we are hypnotized! We are shocked... the audience stood in absolute silence. I cannot believe conducting such a piece without a score was even possible. Such a pity that the composer, my dearest friend Henryk, isn’t here anymore to witness this miracle… "

"My son, chosen and loved,
Let your mother share your wounds
And since, my dear son,
I have always kept you in my heart,
And loyally served you,
Speak to your mother,
make her happy ,
Though, my cherished hope,
you are now leaving me."
