Stolen Stradivarius recovered
A three-centuries old Stradivarius violin stolen thirty-five years ago from an American musician has been recovered. The instrument is being returned to the family of its owner, Roman Totenberg, who died three years ago. Police were alerted when a woman took the violin to a dealer in New York. The family is planning to sell the valuable instrument to a performer -- so that it can be heard again. Jamie Coomarasamy asked Roman Totenberg's daughter, Nina, about her father's relationship with this violin.
