	Duport Stradivarius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Duport Strad, or Stradivarius, is a cello built in 1711 by Antonio Stradivari, and owned and played since 1974 by Mstislav Rostropovich.
		In 1812, Duport permitted Napoleon to handle it; a dent, still visible on the instrument, is said to have resulted from the emperor's incompetent handling of it, straddling it with his boots.
		The great 19th-century instrument maker Jean Baptiste Vuillaume used the Duport Strad as the primary model for the approximately three thousand celli that he built.

	The Duport Brothers, Cellists
		On the eve of the 1789 Revolution, Duport, sensing the coming debacle which would effectively destroy Parisian concert life for several years, fled the city to join his brother in Berlin.
		This pair of complementary works occupies a unique position in music history, being the first true duo, or obbligato, sonatas (in which the two participants share equally in the working-out of melodic material) for keyboard and cello.
		He had an amusing encounter with Napoleon, who insisted on trying out Duport's Stradivarius cello, exclaiming, "How the devil do you hold this thing, Monsieur Duport?" Duport was so obviously afraid that Napoleon would damage it, that Napoleon laughingly returned it to the cellist's more careful hands.

		On DG the Schumann Concerto is even more remarkable than the Dvorák: recorded six years earlier it is not only an exceptionally beautiful performance but a reminder of how astonishing Rostropovich's playing seemed then; most of us had never heard anything like it before.
		Incidentally, all but two of the DG tracks were recorded before he acquired the famous Duport Stradivarius; what on earth can he have been playing before then to produce such matchless depth of tone and such a spectrum of colour and dynamic?
		Rostropovich is known off the platform for his impulsive exuberance and emotional openness, but as a soloist this is rarely reflected in extravagance or disproportion.
