WORLD RENOWNED
VIOLINIST TO PERFORM
IN TERRACE, MAY 3, 1977

Terrace Concert
Association presents with
much pleasure Ruggiero
Ricci in concert Tuesday,
May 3, 1977 at the R.E.M.
Lee Theatre at 8:15 p.m.
Ricci, one of the world’s
greatest violinists is a
virtuoso of extraordinary
gifts. He will be ac-
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 3,000
eoncert and recital
triumphs. A consummate
musician as well as a vir-
tuoso of extraordinary gifts,
Ricei 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-

-Ricci-Johan

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-
monie Orchestra on the
Columbia label was
released simultaneously. In
the three years following
this release, Ricci 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
programs, 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

tours which, of course, were
fantastic successes. Last
year, Ricci repeated his
successes at the
Meadowbrook, Vancouver,
Ambler (Temple Univer-
sity) and St. Louis Festivals
and sin between

France, Yugoslavia,
Greece, Italy and
Luxembourg fer a summer

tour of festival cities. —

States via Mexico City,.

As a musical ambassador
to remote parts of the world
under State Department
auspices, Ricci has received

Bengali, and he was carried
the streets of Accra
in Ghana. Enthusiasm is
equally overwhelming in the
course of his staggering
number of engagements in
the United States.

As laudatory as any
criticism is the comment
prestigious
William Mann of The Times
of London who wrote:
program was
dedicated to the proposition
that virtuoso violin music is
neither vacuous nor dead.

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).
