"When you are not running away from the first look of
Silence, instead you just sit down opposite your visitor and wait for what He has to say, then sooner or later – like if by an invisible sign – uncommon things will show up from the corners, and unless you scare them away by screaming they will tamely begin to talk…"
Tamás Görgényi

“Silence may be both deaf and dumb. But there is silence behind which someone gently waits and hides. If you reach it, grief shall be transformed into sorrow, agressiveness into impulsion, anger into forgiveness which reflect importance beyond this
world. Shapeless chaos into certain form of expression, chaotic thoughts into order, offence and hurtfulness into emotional strength and all
these together: into music. I put together the music
pieces born in such progress for this album.”

„On this album entitled „Breathed Prayer”, I have selected – in a subjective way – my favourite compositions of Csaba Vedres’ five albums released up to 2003. That is the explanation of the subtitle on the cover: The editor’s favourites. In addition, Csaba gave me a complex composition of 10 short piano works, that have not fit to any of his former CDs. He thought that the „List of free ideas” did not fit to the concept of the earlier albums, but it could become integral part of this selection. His music makes you think all the time about: loneliness – social impressions, love – affection, faith – human fragility, birth – passing away, peace – lack of patience, true respect of art - snobbery. Having listened to this selection, Csaba told me that I sicceeded in selecting the saddest 70 minutes of the „Vedres’ life-work”. My way of thinking on certain matters is surely similar to the artist’s ideas: we both are socially sensitive, we wish a better world, peace, quality life to all of us and try to leave some sensinble heritage and print for the future generations. We do hope that this CD contributes to this intention.”
