It is designed for musicians of the National Chamber Orchestra and includes 24 instruments – 15 violins, four violas, four cellos and one double bass. Thus, the ensemble of the Organ Hall will have the opportunity to play exclusively on instruments created by one master, which ensures the unity of sound and high quality of performance.
Cesare Cipriani, winner of the prestigious Antonio Stradivari International Violin Competition, works in Romania and Cremona (Italy), a city considered the world capital of violin art. Master Nicolo Amati from Cremona changed the shape and perfected the acoustic mechanism of the instrument. His pupils, Antonio Stradivari and Andrea Guarneri, perfected the violin’s construction.
The talent of these masters lies in the manufacturing technology and how carefully the balance of the instrument was constructed. It is thanks to this that these violins are considered to be unrivaled even today.
Due to its artistic and historical value, the collection of Cipriani instruments can be used in the future not only by the National Chamber Orchestra, but also by other national ensembles or outstanding young performers, contributing to the development of the national school of performing arts.
