Reviews:
Ruggiero Ricci plays two wonderful violin concertos with his usual technical brilliance: Tchaikovsky's "Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35" and Dvořák's "Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 53". He is accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Malcolm Sargent; the recordings were made in 1961 at London's Kingsway Hall. The remastering for this audiophile release was carried out by John Webber at Air Studios in London.
