About the recording of the long-playing record Quite differently by Duo Z by Rudko Kawczynski and Tornado Rosenberg, Manfred Sack wrote in 1981 in the weekly newspaper Die Zeit : “You met at a rally in the former Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and have been making music together since then, namely: German gypsy songs . They don't do the gypsy jazz that is so popular, but act as songwriters and expressly remind of their origins: what they play is gypsy music, and what they sing about are the bitter experiences that gypsies have among us in one world who despise them, arrogantly tolerate them, beat them, shoot them at or deport them. […] The sympathy that one feels for the Duo Z […] is not least due to the way they appear: They do not carry on. "
