The virtuoso instrumentalist and sometime model known as âthe David Beckham of the classical violinâ couldnât have done more damage if he had kicked his Stradivarius past a goalkeeper. The musician, David Garrett, was leaving the Barbican Center in London after a concert at Christmastime when he fell down a flight of stairs and landed on his violin case. Inside was his 290-year-old Stradivarius, an instrument known as the San Lorenzo. Mr. Garrett, 26, who was 14 when he became the youngest artist ever signed by Deutsche Grammophon, opened the case. Inside, he told The Independent, the London newspaper: âThe violin was in pieces. I couldnât speak, and I couldnât get up. I didnât even know if I was hurt â I didnât care. Iâve had that violin for eight years. It was like losing a friend.â Repairs will take eight months and cost close to $120,000, and the violin may never sound the same. Mr. Garrett is scheduled to perform a Bruch violin concerto on Thursday night at the Barbican on a borrowed Stradivarius. A three-member security team will be helping him watch his step.
