• JASCHA HEIFETZ (1901-1987) I have mixed feelings about this technical legend. Sometimes I feel his playing is too fast to enjoy the music, .e.g his Mendelssohn violin concerto

• RUGGIERIO RICCI (1908-)- Student of San Francisco concertmaster Louis Persinger. Ricci had gone on to make a tremdous career for himself playing and recording many works by Paganini
-THE STRAD 6: Desplanes: Intrada; Nardini: Larghetto; Vivaldi: Praeludium from sonata in c; Paganini: Cantabile & Waltz; Moart: Adagio from piano sonata in E flat (arr. Friedberg); Kabalevsky: Improvisation op 21 no 1; Tchaikovsky: Melodie op 42 no 3; Veracini: Largo; Paradis: Sicilienne (arr. Dushkin); Hubay: 'The Violinmaker of Cremona'; Handel: Larghetto; Schumann: Romance in A (arr. Kreisler). This is one of my favourite recordings. Such a lovely lot of pieces. Ricci's playing is so express and he produces some very sweet tone which suits some of these pieces. However, I sometimes find his vibrato a tad too wobbly. Nevertheless, a fabulous recording.
