Stradivari — Jak biedny uczeń stworzył NAJDROŻSZE skrzypce w historii?

Antonio Stradivari—the story of the man who captured the voice of eternity in wood. In this documentary, we travel to Cremona in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to trace the extraordinary life of the most famous luthier in human history. From his first steps in the workshop of the great Nicola Amati, through his years as an apprentice, his first loves and disappointments, to his independent creative path that changed the face of music forever. The film tells the mystery of the legendary varnish, whose composition modern science has failed to recreate. It tells of his nocturnal experiments with resins and oils, and the obsessive pursuit of perfection that consumed the master's entire life and left its mark on the fates of his loved ones. We meet Stradivari's two wives—the practical Francesca Feraboschi, who shared with him years of poverty and the building of his workshop, and Antonia Maria Zambelli, a young widow whose presence breathed new life into his instruments. We explore the golden age of the master's work, when commissions poured in from Madrid, Paris, Vienna, and Warsaw, and his violins found their way to royal courts and into the hands of the era's most distinguished virtuosos. We discuss his rivalry with Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù—a younger master whose violins embodied a completely different sonic philosophy—and the famous musical evening at the court of the Duke of Mantua, where both instruments performed side by side. The final chapters of the film are devoted to the twilight of Stradivari's life—the years he struggled with old age, the work on his last instrument, the dramatic decision to burn his notebook containing formulas and the secrets of his entire life, and the master's quiet departure in his workshop. We also follow the fate of the instruments after their death—their journey across Europe, the legends of cursed and blessed violins, the attempts to scientifically recreate the secret, and the phenomenon of the immortality of sound, which has endured for over three hundred years. The film is both educational and documentary in nature. All facts presented are based on historical sources. Where discrepancies exist, we present different versions of events, maintaining objectivity and respect for the historical figures.
