Arthur Richardson?

Sooooo...are the images even of this instrument, if it disappeared from public view in 1981?

it only took stradivarius @ 5 years to make..taking pieces of wood from the river.. or sending kidz to a blockage of the river to bring back solid pieces of wood

Bravo! You've matched the previous owner and the performer we hear playing. A nice bonus.

Wonderful! The Alard (at the end of the video) is definitely my favorite!

Very nice--thank you! We now know Antonio died on Feb 4, 1607.

German-American violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter plays two Stradivarius violins: the "Lord Dunn-Raven" of 1710 and the "Emiliani" of 1703: • Lord Dunn-Raven: Mutter's main instrument, which she says has a tiger-like quality to its sound. She describes it as a "mate for life" and says you need to know how to handle it. • Emiliani: Mutter plays this violin less often than the "Lord Dunn-Raven".

So many uneducated so called self proclaimed “ experts “

David Garrett's Album "Iconic", he used this violin for the recording

This performance of Mozart Rondo was performed when Heifetz was around 72. Live at the Hancock Auditorium at USC, Los Angeles.

I tried a Craske once - a Del Gesu copy. A really great instrument. Sadly like most instruments I came across here in Australia in the 80s and 90s, the condition was not very good unfortunately. The Maucatel in your video is one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever seen and certainly the best English one. Wow!

Kennedy is brilliant. Whatever hairstyle he is sporting. Does his hair affect the music? Does the visual aspect of a musician affect your ability to listen to their playing?

The models actually look a little unattractive to me. It is the aesthetic appeal of these old instruments which captivates me the most and I have always preferred the looks of instruments with a slightly more narrow waste. My favourite of all being the Bergonzi model as that had two characteristics I love - the slimmer waste and the slightly more elongated C bouts. Maybe it is a trick of the camera but these models look a little tubby to me. The purfling is not that attractive either but each to their own!

I wonder if Stern is using this del Gesu in this performance. He could well have been.

He’s not vegan he’s vegetarian he’s like ghee and honey eggs

I love the way this commentator or narrator I should say pronounced Sarasate. Classic lack of knowledge, but of course he’s just a narrator. I would love to have played him Table Tennis and reminded him that it is not called ping-pong at the level I played. Oh well.

Fascinating... Instruments truly fascinating in themselves and not only because they are such rare and early examples of Brescian and Venetian work.

Hola que tal ..queria saber si me puedes ayudar tengo un violin que queria que lo veas .

Amazing Violin!!!! The f holes dont look like guarneri 😱

This was actually a live performance from the early 1940s. It's actually on TH-cam. I've never heard a sound like it 😳 😊. The great Heifetz 👍.

Geniuses in many fields. "Why did you leave Russia?" " Because I couldn't bring it with me"

HoIIywood VlLLAlN movies never reached this IeveI of sinister portrayal.

Brilliant ❤

Heifetz never used a shoulder rest. A chin rest is necessary for any classical violinist. Heifetz used plain A and D gut strings, and covered G string. I think the steel E string he used was from Germany. I remember him saying he would prefer to play plain gut G and E strings as well, but they kept breaking.

Do you research. Oistrakh>>Heifetz... Stop this Jewish -American propaganda

Excellent video.. thank you

Back in the 80s and 90s I had a bias against French instruments in general. I attribute that to (perhaps being Australia and long before the days of the internet) there not being much choice in good quality instruments in this country. Instruments from good makers were hard to find to begin with. Finding one of those in excellent (or even good) condition almost impossible. So when it came to French instruments it really was pretty much the high output Colin Mezin factory instruments. Not my cup of tea at all I am afraid. But in later years and especially with the internet bringing a global connection to the buying market, I completely and utterly changed my mind. I now appreciate the calibre of good French instruments and perhaps one of the best things about them is that you can still buy very good ones for reasonable money (as in less than the cost of a new medium sized SUV). I wish these global connections were around when I was a student back in the 80s!

1744, worth $2-3M, scratchy but decent instrument

❤

Exquisitely crafted by the precocious young Stradivari, but with the table made at the height of his maturity. The combination is beautiful and fascinating,

What a beautiful sound! Made my day!

could you be so kind and inform us about the connection of Heifetz and this Guadagnini violin? To my knowledge, Heifetz was mainly associated with the David del Gesu and the Dolphin Strad and earlier in his career with a Tononi violin on which he played his Carnegie hall debut. (this instrument he bequeathed in his will to Sherry Kloss) The ex Rich Guadagnini Heifetz bought from Wurlitzer's in 1944 had a two piece back of flamed maple and was not cut on the slab.

I have to admit that I found it difficult from this video to established, who claimed that Heifetz played without a chinrest. As long as we all agree that Heifetz's virtuosity couldn't be possibly achieved without the use of a chinrest, all is fine. There is some interesting written material by Ruggiero Ricci about Paganini's violin technique without a chinrest.

Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst and Ole Bull 😊

Very very beautiful violin to look as well..

Interesting smaller size Strad..

Gil Shaham's Beethoven Romance recording was played on 1699 Polignac Strad, which is also the same long pattern era..

Ooops. I guess that’s how tall tails were started. He used cat gut too. Meow!

I heard from one violinist that this is one of the Best sounding del Gesu.. He had played more than 50 Strads and del Gesus..

I have a friend Who bought a strad ,and he told me he bought it for investment but a Bergonzi he played sounded better. And its a 1723 strad golden period

Very beautiful, and a great example of a very great maker.

One of the rare example of slab cut back del Gesu..

Here’s some advice my friend, as a musician for over 35 yrs, if you can’t say anything positive, best say nothing, Nigel’s a bloody legend mate, let’s hear your playing then!, you need to learn how to be happy within yourself my friend, learn the violin maybe?

Mozart played violin. And Beethoven also , some.
