Narrated by Sir Roger Moore, Amati's Dream is the compelling story of the great violin maker Nicolo Amati and his apprentice Raphael. It is the year 1666 in Cremona, Italy. While Raphael is learning the luthier's trade, he secretly yearns to be a performer. His family cannot afford an instrument or music lessons, so Raphael tries his best to be content with working in the violin shop. The original score features Key-Thomas Maerkl, in a lyrical performance on a violin made by Amati's most famous pupil, Stradivari. Let the story and music take you on a magical journey into the past. Key-Thomas Maerkl recorded the violin solo on a Stradivarius made in the year 1692.
