Britain's Queen Elizabeth II listens to post-graduate violin student Giovanni Guzzo play a Stradivari Violin, as part of her visit to the Royal Academy of Music in London, Thursday Dec. 13 2007. The Queen was at the college to award the 2007 Queen's Medal for Music and hear a performance on the 3.5 million(US$ 7 million: Euro 4.9 million) Stradivari violin - an instrument so precious that it required permission from the Secretary of State before it could be played.
