Sig. Rinardy is probably the most
finished violinist, whom a Santa Fe

of bowing and Interpretation peculiar
to European violinists. He fOndles the
instrument during the soft seductive
moods and slashes over the strings
with a wild abandon in the more STIR
ring passages with never false note
or unwonted pause. He was on the
program last night for three solos,
each one of which was encored with
spontaneity that left no doubt Of
