Ossy Renardy plays Paganini " Le Streghe"

Ossy Renardy, highly regarded for his Paganini performances--the first to record all 24 caprices for Decca records--performs "Le Steghe". Renardy was known for his technical abilty without being overly "flashy" when it came to performing Paganini. Mr. Renardy stood on the town hall steps in NY and performed Nardini along with several other difficult pieces for his first set--then all of the 24 Caprices, they were then recorded in a set. He was 18 years old at the time.

Alsolutely GREAT, even more interesting, that this is the Original "Le Strege" written by Paganini. Other violinists are playing Kreisler's arrangement.

Many THANKS for uploading!

what a shame there is not more from renardy. this is another tragic loss to the violin world

agree w mr junky re harmonics and pizz

I have still the 24 Capricci's played by Oss Renardy and to me they were always a reference till I became aware of Leonid Kogan. I was 13 or 14 y.o. when I realised that classical music was mine.

@Violinjunky ...the short answer, of his own accord.....no cds,vinyl, tv or .....how things change..now its all mainstream and digital..y/n playing......of course there are still some great originals out there..he's always been my favourite since finding his recordings of the Bach solo sonatas on 78's in a junk-shop in the late 50's...

@Violinjunky:

Practising very slowly each variation, with a realesed left hand rest and shifting in between each harmonics. you also practise them using spot on 8vs... i'm playing this for my end of year recital, and i promise you that this recording is the best i have heard so far.... :)

I thought I knew something about violin players...is really sad we can't have this kind of artist as an example for todays artists.

And by the way +500000 stars

What a talent!!!

this keeps getting better as it progresses, this man had real style, esp. in the bowing dept. and the portemento, his pizzacato is outstanding--and talk about pitch, this was in the day of one shot recording. This is impressive to say the least. Listen to those harmonics-like crystals. How in the HELL did he liearn this?
