Lee Theatre Terrace Concert Association presents with much pleasure Ruggiero Ricci in concert Tuesday, May 3, 1977 at the R.E.M. Lee Theatre af 8:15 p.m. Ricci, one of the world's greatest violinists is a virtuoso of extraordinary gifts. He will be aec- companied by Audrey Johannesen, a very fine Canadian pianist. Ruggiero Ricci seems incredibly young to have been more than 40 years before the public. Over this span his prodigious career has taken him to every continent on the globe, logging more than 3,060 concert and recital triumphs. A consummate musician as well as a vir- tuoso of extraordinary gifts, Ricci will soon set another record of sorts when he plays two different programs in seven concerts, during the same season with the New York Philhar- monic. “In the 70's, Ricci in- troduced the recently ‘discovered Paganini Number 4 to American audiences, on that occassion playing six concerts with the New York Philharmonic. His recording of the work with the Royal . Philhar- monic Orchestra on the Columbia label was released simultaneously. In the three years following this release, Rieci has performed the work over 60 times. Ruggiero Ricci appears as guest artist with an im- posing list of orchestras - around the world year after year and offers many recital progranis, as well, Recently, within a space of a few months, he played 46 concerts in Australia and in Buenos Aires at the famed Teatro Colon, played to standing room only for 10 consecutive performances. Return engagements in West Germany found the 20 concerts scheduled in several cities sold out a full year in advance. London responded with the same enthusiasm and behind the Iron Curtain, the artist won so many admirers that the Soviet government invited him to return for three more tours which, of course, were fantastic successes. Last year, Ricci repeated his successes at the Chris Sanderson wanted nothing than to ride the waves. Meadowbrook, Vancouver, Ambler (Temple Univer- sity) and St. Louis Festivals and in between engagements took off for Europe where he stopped in France, Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy and Luxembourg for a summer tour of festival cities. Returning to the United States via Mexico City, Ruggiero Ricci stopped in several states as far apart as Indiana, California and Washington before hopping over to England an Scutland for 12 engagements there. Asa musical ambassador to remote parts of the world under State Department auspices, Ricci has received a storm of bravos in Bengali, and he was carried through the streets of Accra in Ghana, Enthusiasm is equally overwhelming in the couse of his staggering number of engagements in the United States. As laudatory as any criticism is the comment from the William Mann of The Times of London who wrote: ‘the program was dedicated to the proposition that virtuoso violin music is neither vacuous nor dead. When Ricci is there to play, even Wieniawski‘s ‘Variations on the. Austrian, National Anthem’ inspires a glorious musical ex- _ perience...” Ricci can be heard on a large number of London, Columbia and Decca records, . . He plays a 1734 Guar- nerius, one of the finest instruments of the Cremona School. REVUES “His tone was big and warm, his manner of playing elegant and eloquent’ and his fingers completely dependable...a dazzling performance.” The New York Times “One could understand after these concerts why Ricci is the only violinist who programs all 24 of the Paganini caprices and why his old recordings of them has been the only one listed in the catalogues for the last 20 years. He is simply the, only fiddler around who can play them.’ International Herald Tribune (Paris). “The greatest technical wizard of the violin in our time.” Record & Recordings {London}. He got action. restigious’ OUTSTANDING CANADIAN PIANIST Audrey Johannesen began studying the piano at the age of five in her native Canada and- gave her first public recital at the age of 12.
