@violinoamore When playing this virtuoso music it is rare to be entirely note perfect.
Your critcisms are entirely unwarranted!
-
@cornel999 This is a live performance (in contrast to many of the early recordings) and is certainly not mush. Ricci was a renowned master of this repertoire when very few other violinists could touch it.

@violinoamore not so much that it's out of tune, it's that he's not even trying to get all the notes; he's just going for "effect". i enjoy playing "on the edge", but it's just mush if you're not getting at least most of the notes. yes, his early recordings are untouchable, though. the "A Paganini Recital" album with Louis Persinger just makes your jaw drop, including Nel Cor Piu.

Just incredible....in the edge and all soul

Probably the finest PERFORMANCE I've ever heard of this piece - and probably the finest I'll ever hear. This must be about the most difficult piece in the whole violin repertoire.

Mr.Ricci with his Italian origin understood perfectly what Ole Bull said once about
Paganini.
-
Brillant interpretation! What a great artist! Bravo!
Thank you for sharing.

Wow, awful, just awful...he has no intonation at all sometimes...and WAY too fast...
Very fast ... but unfortunately also quite out of tune at many places ...

@violinoamore I hope you can post some of your "in tune" recordings so we may hear! He is nearly 70 years old here. I have not heard many violinists at that age play a piece of this difficulty. If you want to hear Ricci at his prime, I recommend you get "live" recordings from his Carnegie Hall & Town Hall recordings from the 40's...virtuouso playing that has no rivals. Anyhow...I think the key to Paganini is to have a kamikaze approach to the music...it has to be at the edge. My opinion!
