I just watched this movie from 1988 “The Red Violin” and it was so good!! It was a very inspiring story about a violin built in Italy in 1681.
The journey it takes across 400 years is amazing: going to a monastery in 1700’s Germany, to a virtuoso in Oxford, England, to communist China in the 1960’s (where it is almost destroyed for being Western), and then all the way to an auction house in Montreal where it sells for 2 million dollars.
The music was mostly performed by the great Joshua Bell. I highly recommend!
