From the first bars. Ricci's astonishingly assured combination of virtuosity and poetic sensibility erased my forebodings in regard to 'another' Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto and held me in a state of admiration throughout a score which seems here so fresh and vivacious that it might have just been composed - and specifically for Ricci himself. His uncanny technical security has never been more electrifyingly demonstrated. Ricci is sure-handed. In both sides, the uncommonly transparent, delicately differentiated stereoism makes the most of the soloist's silken, varicolored tonal qualities. - Hi FidelityRicci's warm tone and brilliant technique are well suited to the performance of these two concertos. He seems somewhat more at home in the Tchaikovsky, which he plays beautifully, though with the usual cuts in the last movement. In the Dvorak. Sargent accompanies well in both concertos, and the sound is faithful. - Hi-Fi Review180g Audiophile Virgin VinylDouble LPRecorded at Kingsway Hall 5, 6 & 11 1961From the Original Analogue Masters of Universal MusicAudiophile Analogue Mastering by John Webber at Air Studios in LondonPressed at Optimal Media GmbH in GermanySpecial 2 Records Version for Playback Sound EnhancementGatefold Jacket with Obi StripImportMusiciansRuggiero Ricci violinLondon Symphony Orchestra Sir Malcolm Sargent conductorSelectionsPyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)Violin Concerto In D Major, Op. 35Side One:1st mov.
