Even if this violinist did need his life to be saved, the music company did not have a right to kidnap a person in the first place. The decision is completely up to nobody but the person who is kidnapped (the decision-maker). They are the ones who choose whether or not they save this man. Everybody has a choice and nobody has the right to take that away.
If I was the one that was kidnapped, it depends on who needed saving. A complete stranger is not my responsibility so it is not wrong at all if I didn't choose to save him. Of course, I would probably feel guilty afterwards, but that is just me. Either way, it is not in any way my responsibility to save this guy's life. If it were someone I actually cared about, then of course I would sit through those nine months to save them.

I agree with you for the most part. You stated that if were kidnapped and placed into that position, with the choice to save some stranger, but with no outstanding reason for responding cooperatively, it would be inductive to oblige to the strager's need, rendering no obligation in relation to your personal viewpoint on the situation. However, if you cared about the individual in need of such support, you would have an obligation to help them in order to save their lives, which I also agree with.
