| Summary |
In Search of the Messiah reveals a miracle of engineering and exposes an extraordinary world of politics, deception, crime and passion, spanning over 350 years of history. The title of the documentary is inspired by the most perfectly preserved Stradivari violin in existence: The Messiah, which is displayed in a glass case at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum. Stradivari's instruments are so valuable that they are well beyond the capability of even the most famous musicians to own. (From the UK) (Masterpiece) (Arts) WS |
