Shot for you Sam – our lover of all music. This Stradivarius – the Messiah – is in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Photo in homage to your work on the Da Vinci collection. How sad to know it can never be played again as terms of the donation.

Jeez. Standing there must have been like when I was in l’Accademia in Florence, transfixed by The David. beautifully reverent shot of it, too.
I so wished I could hear it play. I’ve only heard a Stradivarius violin play once – it was transporting. Would love to hear one of the cellos.
