Hottinger Collection - formed in New York by Henry Hottinger (b New York, 4 Feb 1885 - d. Stamford, CT, 19 March 1979). Henry Hottinger was a founder and member of Wertheim & Co., a firm of Investment Bankers, who was also very much interested in Musical Instruments and subsequently he amassed the best-known collection of rare violins of the mid-20th century. "He had an early interest in the violin, and bought his first Stradivari in 1935. His ambition after the war was to acquire one outstanding example of each of the old Cremonese masters, and in the case of Stradivari and Guarneri ‘del Gesù’, one example from each significant period of their production. An illustrated catalogue (R. Wurlitzer: The Henry Hottinger Collection, 1967)〔The Henry Hottinger Collection - Rembert Wurlitzer, 1967〕 was published following the collection's sale to Rembert Wurlitzer Co., Inc. (the most highly regarded string instrument dealership of its day). The instruments (about 30 violins in all) were subsequently dispersed all over the world." - CHARLES BEARE 〔( CHARLES BEARE )〕〔(Truth about Nazi Violins, Soundpost Online Spring'02 )〕 ==Quotes== "...... One of the great violin collectors of all time." - Cozio.com〔( Cozio.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Hottinger Collection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
