I've actually thought about doing a recording like this where it is just me playing a quartet or something. It's hard finding people that are motivated and talented enough to do a quartet (at least where I am).

Very interesting documentary! Of course modern instruments record well, maybe as well as old Italians. But new ones don't satisfy us players the same way, do they? Sam can't make a 300 year old instrument. Nor can anyone else. But modern instruments are affordable and quite wonderful for those of us who aren't lucky enough to play a Strad or Guad. Thanks for posting this!

My friend, referring to artistic skills, you're all wet. I offer irrefutable proof: Jessye Norman. Never has her art been surpassed. There are many many other examples.

I'm a woman and a musician and I think you're full of crap.
