Violin maker in Montpellier, scientific curator of the exhibition
Antonio Stradivari, a domestic tyrant
Thursday July 17th, 11 a.m., Einstein Hall, Le Corum
By working
until age 93, Stradivarius managed to build one thousand instruments. The
quality of his creations left an unforgettable sound imprint on the music
world.
Today, when you listen to Maxim Vengerov or Anne-Sophie Mutter, it is a stradivarius you are hearing. You prefer Grapelli? Well guess what, it is
another stradivarius that sings to your ears.
To obtain
such results, Antonio Stradivari imposed a quest for perfection at all times
from his household. By examining closely the rare information that came through
to us about this uncommon man, Frédéric Chaudière tries to close in on the
character of the most famous violin maker, of all time.
