THE RED VIOLIN

The story of the RED VIOLIN is an intriguing love story. It is a story of love lost and and then found. This mysterious and exciting story, tracing the history of a well-made violin across three centuries and five countries in three continents.

Antonio Stradivari, who lovingly made his instruments in his small shop in Cremona, Italy centuries ago, remains the most famous violin maker of all time. Not long after its creation, the instrument appeared to vanish from the radar screen; no one knows where or to whom the violin belonged for more than 200 years.

This absence spawned any number of historians, writers, journalists, critics as well as filmmakers, to speculate on the violin's mysterious history.

 
The RED VIOLIN is unique and exquisite in its design, a design that earned the historic Stradivarius violin the nickname "Red Mendelssohn" in 1930. Varnished with Rose madder, made from the root of the madder plant, producing a color thought to resemble was used distinctive red coats of the British Army.

 
The RED VIOLIN resurfaced in 1990 and was sold in auction in for 1.7 million dollars by an anonymous buyer. But to me, the storyline is about the voyage that love take one on, rather than the journey of a masterful instrument.
