were can you find this song

[jjaci]

what do you mean?

[issagele]

what a sloppy mess! Loss of scratches and out of tune notes. Ricci should know to slow down so the notes are actually CLEAR and IN TUNE

[jjaci]

lol:))

[issagele]

compare this recording to Heifetz's on youtube. I bet your not laughing anymore

[jjaci]

lol:))

Maestro Ruggiero Ricci has been the first violinist to record the complete 24 Paganini Caprices in their unadultered form, and has recorded them since 5 times, the last time at age 80!

He will forever be my inspiration, since I first auditioned for him as a young boy in Berlin in 1987.

how old was ricci when this was recorded?

i wonder if he was so sloppy when he was younger. regardless, that's ricci for you - an unstoppable, fearless, go-for-broke virtuoso.

[Alkimista793]

virtuoso, pero no me gusta sonido no apreciable!!

[rolipoli]

the best paganini i ever heard

[RollingShit1234]

Heifetz is the most overrated violinist of all times.Just because he left from Lithuania to settle in USA he's a greatly advertised violinist.Ricci is a Paganini master.I can only compare his playing of Paganini with Kogan's.These two give me the impression that they are demons,like Paganini did!That's the point playing Paganini!To make the others think you're somewhat bewitched or something!

Zhujun516, so I answer to your question. I think, if you not hear what Ricci really doing, and Heifetz too, - so you very misunderstand violin arts and violin music. Ricci play "false tones", this is simply wrong. Violin is not a piano, and not a synthesizer. It is also NOT THE GOAL to play as a piano. It is an instrument with a mystic expression, - and to be honest, Ricci play often more clean and correct, than to most other violinists. Especially, Ricci plays on the easiest way I have see

@RozsaErnoe would you answer me a question? his skills are great. No intention to offend, but eveytime I listen to master ricci's recording, espacally for his 24 caprices, I feel his notes are totally not clean and stronge enough. it sounds like his bow is floating on the strings, not suck into the strings. For example, Heifetz plays much stronge and clean,and rhythmic for this caprices.To be fair, I'm not a fan for both of master ricci and Heifetz.

[RozsaErnoe]

I am Ernoe Rozsa, violinist, and short time I was student of Maestro Ricci. I play the capirices myself, and 4 of the 6 Paganini Violinconcertos, on stage, and in recordings, - (here by Youtube also available). I can say, that Ricci was the greatest master of the mechanic of the violin. Statements like "Heifetz is better", - are very superficious. Heifetz never played Paganini, except the 24th Caprice in the Auer-Kreisler-Version. I am sure, Ricci was the greatest technician.

@bobe346 HAHAHAHAHAHa¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[manifold0606]

I think this is his Decca version. His Decca series is his prime, very good. His technique declined drastically when he got old. His sound in slow music is most touching and spontaneous. Well, personally I really hate Heifetz's slides, so ugly. Slides turn serious musics into jokes. But fair to say, no body can beat Heifetz in terms of technique.
