Went to see Akiko play the Mozart Violin Concertos this weekend because she was playing "Dolphin", one of the most famous and precious of all the Stradivarius violins on earth. (They actually rank it third best.) I'd never heard a Stradivarius "in the flesh" and wanted to know if everything they say about the superiority of this guy's work was all hype or not.
Have to tell you, it isn't. From the very first note, which gave me goosebumps, you could really hear the difference, and I'm such a musical philistine you wouldn't think I could.
You know, I actually love it when things like this turn out to be true.
