"Ricci recorded this collection...when his playing still retained much of its fabled, legendary brilliance, so this memento makes a welcome return... Wieniawski, of course, enjoyed a triumphant and universal career as a travelling virtuoso, and his dazzling, often ingenious compositions... determined to astonish... One can enjoy moments of jaw-dropping violinistic mastery here... He projects well
in the Legende... is heard to great advantage in the defiantly difficult Scherzo tarantelle, where he surmounts every complexity with seemingly effortless bravura, whilst his account of the Souvenir de Moscow is magnificent."
