Review:

"dubbed 'the most stupendous gift of the bow in our time,' and a 'reincarnation of Paganini.' His career is without parallel. ...since the 10 year old child prodigy mesmerized his first audience, Ricci has played in more places, before more people, and recorded more music for violin than any violinist alive."
(Tony Hodgson, 2007)
