I don’t think it’s such a big secret. Those forests that the old expert makers plundered are gone. They didn’t use kilns to dry wood. And their varnishes and stains will never be duplicated, because our world is too polluted now.

Absolut großartige Dokumentation. Vielen Dank fürs Hochladen.

It is this episode of NOVA along with my sister's dashed soloist hopes which would help set me on a quest to solve this great mystery. While I had fun exploring and experimenting with the various facets over the years I never did solve the mystery. What's better beyond imagination though is running across an author that convinced me he has. Isaak Vigdorchik, God bless him, not only solved but killed the great violin mystery.

you can buy a handmade violin from the best violin maker in the world, perhaps a joseph curtain for $50,000 and it will be better than a stradivarious. The only reason the stradivarious is held in such high esteem is superstition and tradition. there's no secret. Todays violin makers are amazing.

Love violin very good Love feedback on my original guitar instrumental no autotune or ai original graphics also h n year

It is such a pleasure to watch, and enjoy, a video without loud, annoying, monotonous, bland, senseless, insipid, mindless, distracting back-ground music! Thank you so much to this video maker!

Not to mention three hundred years of tweaking by luthiers on each instrument.

Some influence is accounted by the aging of the wood, now over 300 years since construction, something we cannot duplicate.

Lost varnish recipe? More like lost varnish over time.

so informative...

It has, since the making of this video, been pretty well proven that Strads and DeGesu's etc. do NOT sound any better than modern makers. Blind fold tests have over and over again showed listeners cannot distinguish a 'Great' violin from 18th century Cremona from the best modern makers. The importance and expense of such instruments is in their historical and antique/art value NOT in either great sound OR playability, though most Strads and other Cremonese violins sure have both. What year was this video made?

Thank you for an enlightening documentary. The question remains, though, about how clever, technological, skilful, knowledgable and understanding our antecedents were in many areas of the sciences. Will we ever have that inquisitiveness satisfied?

The one thing seemingly not discussed much is the age of the instruments , 250 years or more . Maybe these top line instruments being made today will perform as great as a Strad . does today . All stringed instruments that are made well, like a vintage Martin or Gibson improve as the wood ages and seasons . Patience , dear listeners

Говорят, их делали из деревьев, которые росли в Малый ледниковый период, но это не убедительно.

I remember seeing this program when it aired. Very interesting stuff. I wonder how many of today’s top makers were influenced by this information. We certainly seem to be in a new golden age of violin making, with instruments that finally do compete with top older instruments.

33:00 for anyone else curious. but there really isn't any extra to the clip floating around.

When you get an old you should respect the way the maker built it that doesn't mean regulating that means just set it up and play it for what he built

Very nice.

42:53 -I will forever return to these words. So I'm just putting this time stamp here so I can hear them when I need them most.

This should be called 'The Executive Idiots (and the virtuoso violin genius who has to endure them)'

11:05 she's so adorable lol

I saw this film long ago flying to San Francisco and I saw that God was her conductor. So profound that I never forget. 🙏🌈

這部影片覺得需要帶到諾亞方舟裡面去。我在影片中獲得了很多的靈感。他可能會在接下來的。很常的時間。佔據我製造小提琴的想法？再一次感謝你。

She gives me the creeps. I think she has Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

What Maxim Rysanov says (47.45) about Janine Jansens natural qualities, I think also makes her recording of Bach's Partita nr.2 so utterly interesting and outstanding. She can make all the 'voices' in this piece 'talk' to each other and 'sing' together. I've never heard an interpretation that was as rich and at the same time so wonderfully transparant as hers.( I never knew it was such a struggle for her to record it!)

Well-structured detailed info thanks.

Sacconi destroyed many a Stradivarius violin by re-graduating the back, this unknown Mckay has not been touched by Sacconi that may explain why it has such a powerful concert sound! Who would "touch up' a painting of the Dutch masters or the like?

Fascinating study of acoustics!

What a fantastic enrichment of my primitive understanding of this piece … and of the violin techniques. An absolutely great learning experience .. totally mesmerized by it really!

This is just amazing. Speechless. Amazing. The history. The humanity. The art.

I am fan of her for more than 40 years. love all of her works.

Perdone, pero ¿dónde están los subtitulos en español

Dankjewel voor al je gaven Janine ❤

Thank you!

Among the extremely talented new generation of 21st century violin virtuosos, Janine Jansen is possibly the most expressive.

Thank you so much, very rich informations!!

Just a side note. Much of the warmth, expression and texture of the violin tone in this video registration of the Beethoven concerto is lost in the actual disc that came out. I notice this very often, like the producers decide to smooth out, give everything a gloss. Another example that comes to mind was the promotional video registration/rehearsal of Mozart's Mass in C, with William Christie and Patricia Petibon, also on TH-cam. The sound of the rehearsal was dynamic, full bodied and textured. The Erato disc of this recording sounds distant and undefined in comparison. Janine's playing has so much more character than the Decca disc finally presented us. That said, great video of an amazing artist.

Amazing performance!

Beautiful 👏👏

Can't tell you how much I appreciate this documentary. I AM A 62 YEAR OLD VIOLIN STUDENT. MY ADVICE IS DONT EVER GIVE UP A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT,EVEN IF YOU CANT READ MUSIC, YOUR EARS CAN GUIDE YOU BE EXTREMELY PATIENT. I REGRET HAVING STOPPED VIOLIN AT 6TH GRADE. THOSE

Thank you, I get something out of this everything I watch this.😅

Nice Quartet!

What a wonderful!

Thanks for sharing.

Ah yes, the comic stylings of Richard Strauss.

Congrats for the Honor Award 🎉🎉
