This is from a concert in Florence, Italy from 3/10/85 performed by the great Maestro. The three well-deserved encores were given after an amazing performance of the Mozart #5 & Beethoven Violin Concertos (to be posted!). Despite the poor sound quality, you will realize the amazing artistry of Maestro Ricci. He is performing the Preludio from Partita #3 & Paganini Caprice #17. Please enjoy one of the greatest masters of violin playing.

I love his spirit - you can keep the youngsters with their super clean sound these days… they say nothing on the violin

@aegeanenjoyer668 5 месяцев назад

Exactly.

@gulutaalan8845 4 года назад

Maybe the greatest. Not only for his incredible yet strange technique, but for the soul he put in the music. Very few succeed when playing such difficult pieces. He had some "gene of madness", like Paganini.

The way mister Ricci plays this Bach piece grabbed my heart. He plays Bach as well as he does Paganini. In this performance by Mr. Ricci I was thinking about Mr. Bach as well - that is, Mr. Ricci shows us the great depths in Bach's music, and one wonders what wonderful romantic music Bach would have written had he been living a bit later.

The paganini is out of my league, how he plays it. The Bach is an easy piece. Yes, he plays it with the great musical phrasing. But it can be played even better, musically.

@robotnik77 5 лет назад

He was 67 years old at the time. He lived to 94.

Um homem simples e cordial. Eu era um jovem estudante de violino e ele me recebeu no hotel em que estava hospedado, quando se apresentou em São Paulo, Brasil. Conversou comigo, autografou os discos dele que eu levei, deu-me uma foto dele em Tóquio, com dedicatória. Vou contar um fato engraçado: ele era uma pessoa tão simples que, no primeiro ensaio dessa sua apresentação em São Paulo, ele chegou sozinho ao Teatro, que ficava muito próximo ao hotel aonde ele estava hospedado. Apesar do nome italiano Ruggiero Ricci, ele era americano e não falava uma palavra em italiano. Na portaria da entrada dos músicos, no Teatro Municipal de São Pulo, aonde se apresentaria, os porteiros, que esperavam um italiano, não conseguiam entender o que ele falava e ele só conseguiu entrar para o ensaio porque chegaram músicos da orquestra que o identificaram e o levaram para dentro. Grande Ricci! Simples e, simplesmente, o melhor!

@asmith8815 6 лет назад

I really think that Ricci was one of the best ever technically along with Heifetz and Leonidas Kavakos. His musical style is individualistic and therefore subjective. It is different. I will respectfully leave it as that.

Io ero presente.Il Maestro ripeté a Firenze il programma del giovedì la domenica successiva , dopo altri due concerti in Toscana. Naturalmente la mattina di domenica 6 ottobre tornai . Un COLOSSO SENZA ALCUN DUBBIO. Ed un privilegio averlo potuto ascoltare dal vivo .

@pippofan123 12 лет назад

Grande Ricci. Entre outras qualidades, Ricci tinha (ou tem, porque não sei se ainda vive) duas que se destacavam. A primeira, é óbvia: tocava muito. A segunda é que adorava tocar. Se a platéia pedisse, tocava até não aguentar mais. Assistí a um recital seu em São Paulo, Brasil, no qual concedeu mais de 10 encores. A platéia ficou de pé e foi se aproximando do palco. No fim, eu já estava em cima do palco e a platéia pedia mais. Por fim, extenuado, ele mostrou as mãos e pediu para parar. Soberbo.

@asmith8815 6 лет назад

Yes. It was back in those days of Francescatti, Hassid (career tragically cut short) Heifetz, Kreisler, Menuhin, Mliste&in, Neveu (tragically killed in a plane crash along with her brother) Oistrakh, Rabin, Ricci, and others that I did not intentionally omit that had different styles of playing but very unique. Today's violinists like Joshua Bell, James Ehnes, Hilary Hahn, Maxim Vengerov play with little or no depth except for Sarah Chang, Ray Chen and Leonidas Kavakos. I like to not compare those three violinists with the ones back in those days of Francescatti, Heifetz and the like. Today's playing is less to do with sentimentality and more to do with technical virtuosity. These three at least play with musical depth. However, I do not expect anyone to agree with me regarding the three violinists that I find musically inspiring.

@asmith8815 6 лет назад

Sorry...these three violinists with the ones back in those days...

@Gallipoli717 6 лет назад

Having heard all three violinists you mentioned...I would have to agree. Ray Chen is amazing...I've heard him twice now in recital. Fantastic "Devil's thrill" & Wieniaski pieces. I can't stand Joshua Bell...awful playing! Heard him play the same Tartini a few weeks later...no comparison. Sarah Chang plays with amazing guys & personality. And Kavakos....amazing technique. But I love Vengerov's playing. He played a great Brahms concerto in Moscow! Ehnes is also very good...but a bit too calculated. Hahn has amazing technique but no soul. Again...this is subjective to the person listening. My hero is Mulstein...heard him at 81 years old. Master of Masters!!

@maelperron_guerra4946 6 лет назад

Vengerov is really interesting for me ! He has the best sibelius rendition and plays with great expressivity and passion ! Although you're totally right, theses old times saw real masters

@lilianwriterMemoirs 5 лет назад

Wow George, I agree with nearly all of your very interesting opinions! I find JB utterly unbearable. I love Kavakos and Vengerov. I revere Ricci, Milstein, and all of those golden oldies. Who plays like that anymore? People are saying Daniel Lozakovich, still in his teens. What do you think? lilianwriter@gmail.com

@asmith8815 6 лет назад

It does not mean that I do not admire his very unique talent.

@Gallipoli717 6 лет назад

Agreed. There's really no one Artist who exceeds in all genres of the repertoire. Having heard many wonderful violinist, I've realized the most important aspect of an Artist is his or her personality...it really does get projected in their playing. And listening to the "Golden Age" violinists...they all had that unique Sound! Not sure I would say Kavakos has a distinct "voice!" Can you pick out his playing among the current group of young soloists? Heifetz...for sure! Francescatti, Menuhin, even Ricci...all had a unique style. Today's violinists all have a similar school of training...takes away any form of individuality. And I would much rather prefer hearing "mistakes" by Kreisler, than a perfect performance by Hilary Hahn. And at a time where a "Joshua Bell" is a superstar, it tells you all you need to know where our tastes have headed. Sorry for being opinionated, but that's what I feel.

@penelopewhite1509 5 лет назад

I don't understand why Ruggerio chose a Storioni over a violin like Pietro Guarnerius or Bergonzi (comparable price range). Like Ginette's Ommo Bonno Stradavarius, they both built their caeers with,

@robotnik77 5 лет назад

He had several violins, masters as well as contemporary. You may as well ask, "Why did Francescatti play a Seraphin or, as Hillary Hahn put it in video, why did Oistrakh play, in her words, "an inferior violin?" I guess to their ears, it's what suited them best at the time. Kreisler used to compliment all the good makers of his time, and owned several, though he recorded with his favorite Italian masters.

@aegeanenjoyer668 6 месяцев назад

@@robotnik77 It's mostly a combination of the violin fitting in your hand and doing what you want it to do with ease, as an extension of your hand, and the tone matching the musicality you're aiming for. A Stradivari that you cannot fully play what you want on it will sound like shit to your ears, as completely pointless. But if a Storioni works better then the tone you can get out of it will be better. Hope that explains it. It's mostly the player + his personal taste compared to what he wants to get out of the violin, and how the violin responds to his playing and fingerings and posture in terms of build and sound.

@asmith8815 6 лет назад

Vengerov plays some pieces better than other ones. When he plays well, it is wonderful.

@asmith8815 6 лет назад

I agree with you regarding Joshua Bell. I cannot help noticing how stiff musically he plays. James Ehnes too . No disrespect. It is the way I feel. Both of them are trying too hard. Let it happen versus trying to do too much and/or be too predictable.

@lilianwriterMemoirs 5 лет назад

Oh I agree with you about JB. His playing just plain annoys me. He's probably a nice guy, but I can't look or listen to him for very long. Once I heard him live in Carnegie Hall when Maxim Vengerov was ill, and I was horrified by his performance of the Tchaikovsky Concerto. As for James Ehnes, I find him much more earnest and authentic. But Ricci was one of a kind.

@asmith8815 6 лет назад

It is technically excellent but musically subpar. I much prefer Menuhin's profound and insightful playing without being disrespectful. It is rushed and too predictable. "Music is spontaneous." It is to be felt not a "matter of fact".

@Gallipoli717 6 лет назад

I think if you knew Mr. Ricci and understood his personality, you would realize that his interpretations are very honest and a reflection of him as a person. That goes to say with any gifted Artist. What it lacked in poetic interpretation, as you mention Menuhin possessed, it made up with his unique fiery temperament. They are completely different violinists....and I like them both.

@MrFpam 6 лет назад

Neither of these pieces require profound and insightful playing. They display technique and musicianship. In Paganini Ricci was a master and far superior to Menuhin. I am a great admirer of Menuhin but your comment was inappropriate.
