Ossy Renardy was an Austrian-born American violinist, remembered for technical brilliance, youthful fame and a career cut short by his death in an accident.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in complete Remington and Columbia recordings, covering repertory by Franck, Paganini, Ravel, Dvořák, Sarasate and others.

Renardy’s playing combined virtuoso sparkle, lyrical warmth and a distinctive mid-century violin personality.

His page is essential. Renardy’s violin brings bright young fire with a shadow already at the edge of the stage.
