Soon a new release as 2x45 RPM DLP and Master Reel Tape Copy on SM911 magnetic tape. Pierre Fournier’s cello recitals are consistently lauded for their aristocratic elegance, refined musicality, and warm, "golden" tone.

Swiss Broadcast Edition: Ruggiero Ricci - Violin Recital

This album is an exact reproduction of the original master tape. In order to guarantee the best possible sound quality, no digital equipment or post-processing has been used. It is a hand-numbered limited edition of 300 copies. Original Mono Recording, April 11th, 1958 and April 1st, 1960, Radio Bern. First publication. Gatefold cover, 180 Gram Pressing.

Ruggiero Ricci (1918–2012) was an American violin virtuoso celebrated for his technical mastery and extensive discography of over 500 recordings. A lifelong devotee of the 19th-century bravura repertoire, he is perhaps best remembered as the "Paganini specialist".

The Paganini Legacy: He was the first violinist to record the complete original 24 Caprices by Paganini and the first to perform them live in a single concert.

Ricci was known for his "old school" virtuosity, combining extreme technical facility with a rich, expressive tone. While he championed works by Bach and contemporary composers like Alberto Ginastera (whose concerto he premiered), his core focus remained the high-wire acts of the 19th-century. He published the technical guide Ricci on Glissando in 2008, summarising his approach to advanced left-hand technique.
