Dorothea Stockmann about her Schleske Viola Opus 289 made in 2019:

“The instrument is overwhelming. I took the viola and played on it, and just had to cry. It is a heavenly sound with an overwhelming beauty, warmth and clarity. It plays so easy. I can hardly put it into words. The viola almost touches me on a super-musical level. And it just looks beautiful too. It has a sound that I have never heard - with no viola. It is very extraordinary that an instrument can sound so balanced and so wonderful on every string and in every position. I am sure, this is one of the finest violas in the world!”

Dorothea Stockmann was 1st principal viola of the Dresdner Philharmoniker and the Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin RSO.
