Opening a jazz festival with a very accomplished solo classical guitarist was a characteristically bold and genre-defying gesture on the part of Derek Hook, Zeffirellis owner and the driving force behind the creation of the festival.
Zsofia provided all of these [creative spontaneity and quietness] in abundance, on both the classical guitar and the ronroco – a small, eight stringed Bolivian folk instrument.
A highlight was a piece specially written for the artist by composer Mathias Duplessy, 'Perle de Rosee', which was immediately engaging, indeed thrilling.
Often in this performance Zsofia's face was a picture of transcendent peacefulness. The set all performed entirely from memory.
