Min Kim is a brilliant violinist, the youngest recipient of a scholarship to the Royal College of Music and the first winner of the Heifetz Prize. “It was my violin. It feels like three hundred years ago Stradivari took a piece of wood and carved a violin out of it especially for me, and all this time she was waiting for our meeting with the same impatience with which I was waiting for her. No questions, no doubts. Love at first sight.” Min Kim’s memoirs are the story of a man endowed with extraordinary talent, but deprived of childhood and freedom of choice; a person who gathers full houses of fans, but does not know how to defend his point of view. This is a unique opportunity to look at life through the eyes of a genius and find out what the other side of talent hides. Min grew up in the UK in a patriarchal Korean family, whose customs and traditions of upbringing greatly influenced the life and character of the girl. She began playing the violin at the age of six and quickly achieved enormous successes that only multiplied with time. At twenty-one, Min became the owner of a unique Stradivarius violin from 1696 and realized that she had found “her” instrument. The violin became part of Min's soul, the best companion in the world of music. But ten years later, the work of the great Stradivarius was stolen. Min Kim’s poignant life story about what it’s like to live with extraordinary talent, how to live after losing the most important thing, and how to find the strength to say again: “My name is Min. I play the violin.”
