Reviews:
“Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, one of the best pieces by the composer, is also one of the best-known Violin Concertos in the history of classical music. Like many pieces in the same caliber and popularity, the number of recordings is virtually numerous. There seems to be no violinist of stature (and lesser ones) that hasn’t recorded the piece at least once, and in some cases, multiple times. (…) Ruggiero Ricci was well known as a Niccolò Paganini expert. There he brought shining virtuosity with wit and a sense of ease, but his Mendelssohn Violin Concerto version is bombastic and aggressive.” The Classic Review, Tal Agam, October 29, 2019
