Praised for his ‘natural elegance’ (Gramophone), ‘finesse and astute interpretative insight’ (American Record Guide), ‘faultlessly brilliant technique’ and ‘astonishingly assured combination of virtuosity and poetic sensibility’ (High Fidelity), RUGGIERO RICCI made recordings for Decca from 1950 to 1974. This tribute to the fiendish fingers and sublime artistry of a true virtuoso collects together his complete recordings for the British label – concertos, solo violin works, encore pieces and sonatas, including a previously unpublished set of the Brahms Violin Sonatas with Julius Katchen recorded in 1954. By way of bonus, the set also includes excerpts from the Fistoulari recording of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake where Ricci plays the violin solos, as well as Ansermet’s complete performances of the composer’s Suites Nos. 3 and 4, both of whose obbligato violin parts are performed by the violinist.

An Original Jackets Limited Edition.
