Life of Antonio Stradivari (Stradivarius)
This is a great movie about the life of Antonio Stradivari, as well as
two other great violin-makers of that time, Nicolo Amati and Guiseppe Guarneri del Gesu.
It is extracted from a much longer Soviet-era movie about a stolen Stradivarius violin in modern times. We have added English subtitles.
The setting is Cremona, Italy, in the mid-1600’s thru early 1700’s, where these great masters lived and created their masterpieces.
The movie shows how Antonio Stradivari learned to make violins from the Master Nicolo Amati, whose family had been making violins for 100 years.
We see how Stradivari rose from being unknown, to being recognized as the Master violin maker of Europe. Also his frustration in trying to pass his knowledge to his sons, in order to continue the violin-making traditio...

Why Stradivarius violins are worth millions
Many musicians prefer these 300-year-old instruments, but are they actually worth it?
Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
Antonio Stradivari is generally considered the greatest violin maker of all time. His violins are played by some of the top musicians in the world and sell for as much as $16 million. For centuries people have puzzled over what makes his violins so great and they are the most scientifically studied instruments in history. I spoke to two world class violinists who play Stradivarius violins as well as a violin-maker about what makes Stradivari so great.
Special thanks to Stefan Avalos for the Stradivari research footage.

That's Why Stradivarius Violins Are So Expensive
How much do Stradivarius violins cost? They are said to be among the best violins in the world. Even if you’re not a musician, chances are you’ve heard the name Stradivarius. Many violinists dream of getting a chance to play an instrument made by the greatest violin maker of all time. But why are they so expensive?
Researchers have tried to learn the secret that makes Strads the best violins in the world, and the theories are many. Some say that Stradivarius violins are so superior because of the wood used, the size of the “f-holes” in the design, or the varnish. Some theories claim that the secret is in the uniform density of the 2 wooden panels that form the body of the violin. Others say that the secret is a chemical treatment that’s designed to kill woodworm and fungi.

We see how Stradivari rose from being unknown, to being recognized as the Master violin maker of Europe. Also his frustration in trying to pass his knowledge to his sons, in order to continue the violin-making tradition.
Finally it shows how one of Stradivari’s sons discovered Giuseppe Guarneri and commissioned him to make his instruments for the Church. Guarneri’s grandfather had also studied with Amati, and so the tradition of violin making was passed down from Amati to both Stradivari and Guarneri.
With excellent plot, dialogue, period settings and costumes, the movie is a ‘must see’ for all lovers of the violin and its history.
It took 2 months for this movie to be translated by Carl and Bella Freedman, owners of Bella Musica Violin Store in Huntington Beach, CA.
It was a very challenging, difficult, and rewarding project!

SUMMARY:
- Stradivarius violins were created by Antonio Stradivari. He was born in 1644 and opened up his violin shop in his hometown of Cremona, Italy.
- In the 1700s, Stradivari decided to improve his style yet again and had what is referred to as his “golden period,” a time when he created the best work of his life.
- Stradivari also produced other stringed instruments: cellos, harps, guitars, and violas. But it was his method of making violins that others would try to replicate for centuries.
- Stradivarius violins produce powerful and penetrating tones. They are said to have “brightness,” “expressiveness,” and “brilliance” (terms that describe sound quality).
- Scientists have tried to figure out if all the hype and myth around Strads is valid. The violins have been run through CT scans and X-rays and been the subjects of multiple studies.
- The most expensive Stradivarius was sold for more than $15 million. But not all Stradivarius violins are so expensive — some are valued at around $2 million.
- With the instruments being so highly prized, there are a lot of instances of people who claimed to be selling genuine Stradivarius instruments that turned out to be fakes.
- The “Messiah” violin, which Stradivari built during his “golden period” in 1716, is believed to be the most immaculate Strad left. It has never been played and has an estimated value of $20 million.

Secret Knowledge - 5.

During his lifetime Stradivari made over 1,000 instruments, about 650 of which still survive. Their sound is legendary and for any violinist the opportunity to play one is a great privilege.
Clemency Burton-Hill indulges in her lifelong passion for the instrument as she explores the mysterious life and lasting influence of Stradivari - through four special violins on display at this summer's Stradivarius exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. She is joined by 2002 Young Musician of the Year winner Jennifer Pike to put some of the violins in the exhibition through their paces.
