Barjansky Stradivarius

Barjansky Stradivarius

The "Barjansky Stradivarius" of 1690 is an antique cello fabricated by the Italian Cremonese luthier Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737). The "Barjansky" is named after Russian cellist Alexandre Barjansky, who played the instrument during the first half of the twentieth century. Barjansky was the dedicatee of Ernest Bloch’s "Schelomo" which he performed on this instrument and he also premiered the cello concerto by Frederick Delius with the instrument.

Since 1983 the "Barjansky Stradivarius" has been played by Julian Lloyd Webber who has made more than thirty award-winning recordings on the instrument.
