Many thanks from Latvia for uploading a long-awaited video devoted to the great Ruha. His performances in Riga long ago are unforgettable memories. I am only a music listener, and I remember that my friends and I looked upon Ruha as the true winner of the first Tchaikovsky competition.

Nyugodj Békében Drága Bátyu!:(

"Ruha-babi", ahogy édesanyám emlékszik Reád Nagykárolyból, a TE hegedűhangod marad a legszebb számomra a világon.

Kérlek várj meg, hogy majd együtt lehessünk mostani dimenzióidban is, és ismét hallhassalak hegedűddel mesélni, örülni, sírni, zokogni,...

Un om minunat, un artist magnific. Maghiari si romani, l-am admirat si iubit cu totii .Acum cand avem deschidere spre orice opera(in sens general) si la orice artist, realizam ca a fost unul dintre cei mai inzestrati, mai desavarsiti atat ca virtuozitate ,cultura a stilului si sensibiolitate. Ne obisnuiseram sa-l avem printre noi, negandindu-ne ca Pisti-baci ar putea pleca pe drumul fara de intoarecere. Dar traieste prin noi toti cei care l-am cunoscut, prin inregistrarile care stau marturie.
