Thanks Andrea and Zsolt for such an inspiring conversation. As a musician and teacher, this interview made my day here in New York. I will listen over and over again.

Summary: "I like to play music". Thank you for having me, dear friends. This will be repeated!

What a fabulous interview. Each of you occupies a special place in my heart. You never disappoint, and always brighten my outlook for a bright future. Thank you both! Best wishes.

I’m thankful I came across this series!! Thank you Andrea and Zsolt for a fascinating conversation! ❤

Congratulations with sincere thanks to Zsolt and to Andrea, for this wonderful and inspiring interview! Andrea, your visionary words give encouragement to many young aspiring “musicians in training,”and even to a few older ones too! God bless, see you soon! ❤😊

What an amazing episode!!! Congratulations Andrea and Zsolt🎉❤

Sooooo exciting. What a beautiful and enriching talk. Thank you as always. And thanks for hitting on some of the deeper aspects of creativity and performance.

What a fantastic and inspiring interview! Congrats!

Yes Zsolt, patience is a virtue and at last here you are with remarkable young and very brave Andrea Cicalese. I hope many your musicians listen to this and I shall send it to the Concert Gebouw in Amsterdam. I feel lucky to see him and listen to him and Antonio and other friends of Andrea, Thank you piano-man and Violin-young man. 👍👍🌷🌷🌷(Hollanda-eu)

What a wise wonderful Young inspiring Human Being Artist and Violinist

Thank You for this series ❤️♥️

Thanks for this amazing interview, Zsolt and Andrea. And it's amazing that this interview is the result of you running into each other. It reminds me of the occasion that I ran into you and your musician friends Alexander and Johnny in Berlin near the Deutsche Oper: synchronicity. And I am so grateful that you and your agent invited me to hear you and Alexander do the the Grieg Sonata in the Bechstein rooms. What struck me especially about this interview is the fact that you mentioned honesty: honesty in playing music which would include honesty towards your fellow musicians and towards your audience and communicating that honesty. I still hope to get to Germany to hear you do the Bruch and a recital. Be well, my friend and thanks again for this fantastic interview.❤

Hello Andrea! There a BBC Radio 3 programme called 'This Classical Life'. Jess Gillam hosts the music show for people who like classical and other stuff too. Music, eclectic playlists and chat, with a new guest every week. They should get you on too. Happy Birthday!!!

Interesting his comments on the usage of the competitions as a tool for promotion that he doesn't need given his current work.
