On October 2nd, 2016, Shlomo Mintz was awarded the Cremona Music Award 2016. He received the prize for his outstanding performances throughout his career. During the award ceremony at the Cremona Mondomusica fair, Shlomo Mintz was asked to play for the audience on the Stradivari “Vesuvius“, built in 1727. In this video you get a backstage glimpse of how the Maestro adjust the instrument to his taste and preferences in less than one hour! After the prize ceremony, M° Mintz played the allegro from BACH Violin Sonata No.2 in A minor, BWV 1003, on this most precious violin from the collection of the Museo del Violino, which was brought to him especially for this occasion.
