I remember very well how

You have to go to Ellis Island.
So we were taken to Ellis Island,

radio broadcasts
By the time the Budapest
began its residency
our concerts were being heard
via shortwave radio
in Canada and Latin America as well.
The Budapest Quartet
made radio history
in the early years of the war
by becoming the first group to play
the 16 Beethoven string quartets
over the air.
During the war
we were the first ones to broadcast
at from 11 7 o 'clock
till 12 o 'clock
every Sunday during the war,
all over the United States,
to Brodkast, the Beethoven's Tinkertest.
That was something extraordinary, you know.
