Stradivari - Antonio Stradivari

Japanese: ストラディバリ - すとらでぃばり(英語表記)Antonio Stradivari
Stradivari - Antonio Stradivari

Italian string instrument maker. He is considered the greatest violin maker in history, and it is said that the current standard violin was created by him. In the 1660s, he became a student of Nicola Amati, and inherited the Cremona violin-making tradition that had continued for over 100 years. He left Amati between 1680 and 1690, and thereafter pursued his own style, creating instruments with larger and richer tones than Amati's. The instruments made between 1700 and 1720 are the most beautiful of Stradivari's works. There are about 650 string instruments in existence, of which about 600 are violins. There are also cellos and violas, but his instruments have the name Antonius Stradivarius Cremonenfis on the label, so they are called "Stradivarius" and are still played by many famous performers today. He died in Cremona on December 18, 1737, at the age of 92. His sons also made instruments, but they were under the control of their father, who outlived his father, and so did not achieve prominence.

Japanese:

イタリアの弦楽器製作者。史上最高のバイオリン製作者と評され、現在の標準型バイオリンは彼をもって始まるとされる。1660年代にニコラ・アマーティの弟子となり、100年以上にわたって続いてきたクレモナのバイオリン製作の伝統を受け継いだ。1680年から1690年の間にアマーティのもとを離れ、それ以後独自の型を追求して、アマーティのものより大きく豊かな音色をもつ楽器を生み出した。1700年ごろから1720年ごろにかけてつくられたものは、ストラディバリの作品中もっともみごとなできばえをみせている。現存する弦楽器は約650で、うち約600がバイオリンである。そのほかにチェロやビオラなどがあるが、彼の楽器はラベルにAntonius Stradivarius Cremonenfisと名を入れているので「ストラディバリウス」の名をもち、今日も多くの名演奏家によって弾かれている。1737年12月18日、クレモナで没。92歳であった。彼の息子たちも楽器の製作を行ったが、長命であった父親の支配下にあったため、名をなさなかった。
