With this CD we wish to celebrate Ruggiero Ricci, who at the age of 83 years chose to pay tribute to the 18 violin makers he has known in his long career by playing a different piece on each of their violins. This CD is not to be seen as a recital but as Ruggiero Ricci's act of gratitude towards the men who provided the instruments for his great art. As well as pieces by Schubert, Sarasate, Sibelius, Granados, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Wieniawski and others, Ruggiero Ricci also plays eighteen times (once on each violin) a fragment of the cadenza which Hubert Leonard wrote for Beethoven's concerto. The booklet will be in digibox form, in colour, with detailed photographs of all the instruments and the curricula of all their makers.
