£• Ricci was born in San Francisco
in 1920. He began music lessons
when only five and was shortly un­der
the guidance of the famous
Louis Persinger. Ricci was acclaim­ed
by critics as an important virt­uoso
at the age of nine after he
appeared in concerts in most of the
main cities of the nation.
His first Carnegie hall recital was
in 1930 and was praised by New
York music critics. He made exten­sive
tours in Europe and Latin
America from 1934 until the out­break
of the war.
During the war, Ricci served in
the Army Air force. When he was
released he once again returned to
New York and gave a brilliant per­formance
with such skill and superb
musicianship that the New York
Times acclaimed him "as fine a
violinist as there is today."
Since then he has appeared in
cities from coast to coast and Latin
America. He also makes radio and
television appearances and is firm­ly
established as "one of the out­standing
violinists of the day."
