I had heard wonderful things about this violinist (practically unknown in Italy). I must say that with this performance, he confirms himself as a great musician with absolute mastery of technique, at the service of the music and above all the clarity of details. A tonic in an increasingly perverse context of gimmicks, showmanship, and whatnot. Music to be heard rather than seen....

Thank you Stradivari....what can I say...Mamma mia! Grandiose....A monstrous technique but also great expressiveness and a beautiful sound, very powerful, full-bodied and soft at the same time on the third and fourth strings. I am very curious to know which instrument is being played....obviously it should be an important violin, played by a great one....thank you again
Hello Stradivari.....it's me again....I discovered which violin he plays....try to guess? The violin he uses is a beautiful 1715 Stradivari called "Marsick".
