Description
|
|
|
|
During the late 17th and early 18th centuries, two violinmakers from the same small town—living, in fact, on the same block—were making the most sought-after violins ever crafted. Everyone has heard of Antonio Stradivari, but few know the name Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù. Through interviews with historians, experts, luthiers, and violin virtuosos Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Midori, and Joshua Bell, this documentary narrated by Alfred Molina tells the stories of Stradivari and Guarneri, and explains why the instruments they sculpted 300 years ago in Cremona, Italy, are worth millions of dollars today to musicians and collectors.
