Item Description Manuscript in Skinner's hand of page 2 of his virtuoso solo ' Le Messe' ['Le Messie', 'The Messiah']. 'Le Messie' is a violin that was made in Italy by Antonio Stradivari in 1716. It is highly valued not only because it is a wonderful instrument, but, curiously, because it is in superb condition - it has never been played. The crosses above the first line show where the addenda of JSS0211 should be added in. Click on the audio link below to hear Skinner playing Le Messe.
