“What is it that makes the violins of old Cremona so wonderful? It is an intriguing question, and it has defied all men except possibly one. His name was Luigi Tarisio. Had it not been for this mysterious man, few if any of the instruments created during the golden age of the violin would have survived until today. Luigi Tarisio was the greatest collector of stringed instruments who has ever lived. Musicians know his name, but little else about him. The author, William Silverman, has done a tremendous amount of research to gather all of the factual data which made it possible to bring Tarisio to life again. He has used this material with care and has recaptured the period, the place, and events so that Tarisio seems to take the reader along on his journeys. Together they experience the thrill of collecting these widely scattered treasures. This book will be treasured by anyone who has ever played upon a stringed instrument and, because of the wonderful way in which the author has treated a truly fabulous character, will be fascinating to any reader who enjoys a good story.”
