recommendations, reviews & MORE TESTIMONIALS
Amazing, how well it works!
It sounds great! I also get compliments from people about the violin, so I talk about you loudly.
A wonderful violin-maker, a true artist, always in research, never blindly copying anything but following his highest aesthetic standards based on profound knowledge of the whole culture and spirit of the baroque period (among others)… Many thanks, again!
I was especially impressed by the sound of the Badiarov violin. It was most fascinating to find such an intense sound and full of overtones.
Un liutaio fuori della normalità
I thought it was an antique italian.
I am so fortunate to own a Badiarov violin! Dmitry is truly one of a kind maker! The sound and quality of his instruments are unparalleled! He not only knows his craft incredibly well but can see and sense the unique personality and needs of musicians and build instruments accordingly. I cannot be any happier with the instrument he has made for me!
I cannot explain why, but his instruments have purely Italian character.
Luthier de génie.
Con Dmitry Badiarov torna la tradizione dei raffinati salotti musicali settecenteschi
Known both as a violinist and violin-maker, Dmitry Badiarov has reconstructed a shoulder-cello and presented it at this recital (Tokyo Opera City, Omi Gakudo, 30 April, 2006)… Distinct character was given to each movement of the Suites… The charm and expressive possibilities of the violoncello da spalla were presented very convincingly.
I loved the quiet, tender and refined spalla’s sound which could be compared with that of a baritone; the natural, ingenuous sound does not exist in the modern instruments…
It was on the part of [luthier] Dmitry Badiarov who could re-construct the new instrument, suitable for real performances… Overflown with spirit, his quick-witted performance is motivated by freedom of creativity based on his deep knowledge of Historically Informed Performance Practice.
A recording of excellent artistry and selects it as one of the ‘Quarterly Best’ of new Releases for the First Quarter 2011
