Letter from Joseph Roisman, 1st Violinist of the Budapest String Quartet, after hearing the Tel Aviv Quartet in 1961.
Uzi had also a strong friendship with Emil Hauser, who was the 1st violinist of the Budapest Quartet previous to Joseph Roisman. Some letter correspondence between Hauser and uzi will be uploaded to this page at a later date.
“Today we heard the Tel Aviv String Quartet, which impressed us not only with the technical ability but mostly we their serious intention to music, the love and desire to make good music. We have no doubt about their success in the future and recommend them very highly to all chamber music societies.”
