Who left her Stradivarius on a German train?

January 7, 2016 by Norman Lebrecht

BERLIN, Jan 7 (Reuters) – An American violinist who left her $2.6 million 1727 Stradivarius in the luggage rack on a regional train in western Germany was “more than relieved”, police said, when officers retrieved it one minute before it left the station.

So who was it?

The violin is the ‘General Dupont’, played throughout its career by Arthur Grumiaux. It was last sold at auction a year ago to an anonymous collector in China, after being on loan for several years to the US soloist, Jennifer Koh.

Police says the violin was unharmed. So, Ms Koh will be able to play it tonight at her concert with the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie orchestra in Saarbrücken.
