這裡有斯特拉迪瓦裡琴，有它留下的美麗聲音；這裡有聖桑的“引子和迴旋隨想曲”和“天鵝”，憂鬱蒼涼，優美華麗；曾經對克萊斯勒的“愛的喜悅”，喜的 情不自禁，卻又忍不住回味起“愛的憂傷”；“回想”起辛德勒的名單，為那一段驚心動魄的歲月而暗自感傷，在殘忍面前受傷，在愛的幫助下堅強；講述一個個心 靈的故事，這些聲音，是你應該要去聆聽的……
安東尼奧•斯特拉迪瓦裡是舉世公認的一位最偉大的提琴製作家，他在繼承其老師的優良傳統的同時還把提琴製作藝術推向了一個更高的高峰，以至在他去世後至今的200多年裡仍無人能夠超越其上。
斯特拉迪瓦裡較為溫暖，委婉流利的音色有時似管樂器般清純亮麗，有時又恍若天鵝絨般溫馨柔媚。
斯特拉迪瓦裡最適合不以外表的炫技、音色見長的內在型演奏，能夠充分體現作品和演奏家的高貴宏偉的風格、深邃的意境。據說約阿幸姆、布希、庫貝裡克、薩拉薩蒂以及埃爾曼、梅紐因、米爾斯坦、莫里尼、大衛•奧依斯特拉赫等大師都喜歡用斯特拉迪瓦裡琴。
Here is the Stradivarius, with its beautiful sound left behind; here is Saint-Saëns's "Introduction and Rondo" and "Swan", melancholy and pale, beautiful and gorgeous; once on Chrysler's "Joy of Love", joyful, but can not help but recall the "sorrow of love"; "recall" Schindler's list, for a shocking period of time, and the "sorrow of love". Telling a heartfelt story, these are the voices that you should listen to. ……
Antonio Stradivari is universally recognized as one of the greatest violin makers of all time. He inherited the fine traditions of his teacher and at the same time pushed the art of violin making to an even higher peak, so much so that no one has been able to surpass him in the more than 200 years since his death.
The Stradivarius is warmer, with a gentle and fluent sound that is sometimes as pure and bright as a wind instrument, and sometimes as warm and soft as velvet.
The Stradivarius is most suitable for the inner type of performance that does not focus on outward showmanship and timbre, and can fully realize the noble and grand style and profound meaning of the work and the performer. It is said that masters such as Joachim, Busch, Kubelik, Sarasatee, Ehrmann, Menuhin, Milstein, Morini, David Oistrakh, etc., all preferred to play on the Stradivarius.
