Such a Bargain: Anne Akiko Meyers Outbids World for “Molitor” Strad

ClassicalMusic.org.uk has the details. Meyers laid out $3.6 million for the “Molitor” Stradivarius, which has quite the pedigree of previous ownership — Napoleon, the Curtis Institute (who loaned it to, among others, Henri Temianka), and Elmar Oliveira. Meyers’s first US appearance with the Molitor will be in Pasadena.
