The Lord Wilton Guarnerius, sometimes referred to as the ex Yehudi Menuhin, is a violin made by Italian luthier, Giuseppe Antonio Guarneri (1698-1744), usually called Guarneri del Gesù. 

The Wilton was crafted in 1742 in the city of Cremona and was named for a Seymour Egerton, 4th Earl of Wilton, a musician associate of Arthur Sullivan.

It was owned and played by violinist Yehudi Menuhin from 1978 to 1999. After Menuhin's death in 1999, the instrument was sold for $6 million to well known collector David L. Fulton, the highest price paid for a violin to that date. As of 2013, the instrument remains in Fulton's possession.

It been so long since updating this blog. The creative urges are trickling through and it feels good to once again get things going on a creative and musical front.

Let's hope that i can keep this all on track somehow and make up for lost ground, after what has been a tumultuous and life changing few years for me on a personal front.

Thanking Vov Dylan aka Maestro for his encouragement, positivity and friendship in getting me back to practicing and playing violin after what has been almost a two year absence from it.
His ability to tailor lessons to keep me motivated and moving forward, as well a knack to be able to transfer his knowledge is what makes for an excellent teacher.

Also thanking him for allowing me the opportunity to take responsibility of his photographic requirements and cover design for his CD's this year and ongoing into 2014. 

It is an honour and privileged to work and liaise with him and to be part of his team on his various projects.

Never had i imagined that my journey through learning violin would have given me such an opportunity,  leaving an artistic fingerprint behind and to meet, photograph and best of all listen to such wonderful musicians. It truly feels like I'm in Heaven and i'm having so much fun! 

Thank you Vov.

To my Maestro..

You are an amazing violinist and it's an honour and privilege to know you.

To share in your journey through the beautiful music of the violin, 

to photograph and create the covers for your CD's is something i

did not envisage doing when i started this adventure.

Orava String Quartet performs at the Apple Store Sydney, Sunday 17 June, 2012.

Supporting the Meet the Filmmaker events celebrating the 2012 Sydney Film Festival, these talented musicians based in Sydney played a collection of scores from classic films including The Rose, The NeverEnding Story and Aladin.

The Apple Store with its enormous glass facade, provides an outlook onto busy George Street which runs through the heart of the city centre.
A rather delightful encounter to end a day spent in town.

world lullabies Vov Dylan violin - Brian Dean guitar

Tomorrow will be my 100th lesson
Having had no practice this week i'm not sure whether i will attend lesson.. best let my Maestro know that my time has been taken up with working on his latest CD cover!

I would like to take this opportunity in wishing Vov Dylan all the best with
the upcoming launch of his new double CD called World Lullabies.

Vov together with Brian Dean on guitar have created a magical musical journey playing some of the worlds most loved and cherished melodies lulling little bubs to slumber sweetly.

Vov, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of this very special CD.
It was an honor to be asked to create a watercolour art work for the front cover and happy i was able to realise your vision for it.

Hopefully see you at lesson tomorrow senza practice.
Un abbraccio,
donna con il violino blu

lesson 83

A New Moon means an intensification of experience.

Whatever you feel, you feel it more than you felt it before.

And where you don't feel something, you feel the absence of the feeling.

You notice the sense of emptiness.

You can't just pretend that there's no crack in the wall by hanging a picture over it.

Torn fabrics won't be patched. Or so it seems.

Actually, you'll be back to something resembling normality sooner than you think.

Meanwhile, relish this chance to get in touch with an emotion it's all too easy to ignore.
