The violinist Ruben Varga died Thursday of a heart attack at his home in New York City. He was 55 years old.
Mr. Varga was born in Palestine in 1928, and was considered a child prodigy on the violin. When he was 11, a booby-trap grenade in Tel Aviv blinded him, but he continued to study and perform. He spent part of World War II with his mother in Hungary, where he performed with the Budapest Philharmonic, then returned to Israel before moving to the United States. In 1952, he was granted citizenship by an act of Congress.
Mr. Varga's debut recital in New York was presented by the Lighthouse of the New York Association for the Blind in 1949, and he gave frequent recitals in New York from the 1950's through the 1970's. He toured Europe and South America, and recorded Brahms, Paganini and his own ''Caprices'' based on Paganini themes for the Musical Heritage Society and Audiofidelity labels. More recently, Mr. Varga taught violin at the Lighthouse.
He is survived by his wife, the former Norma Jones, and by two children, Rachel and David. |
