About this title:
Synopsis: For the first time in one volume--the celebrated Stravinsky and Craft Conversations
Few would dispute that Igor Stravinsky was the greatest composer of the twentieth century. Conductor and writer Robert Craft was his closest colleague and friend, and for over twenty-one years he lived with the Stravinskys in their Hollywood home. In the early 1950s he accompanied the composer on his concert tours, and from the mid-1950s to Stravinsky's death in 1971 he co-conducted his concerts. Together Stravinsky and Craft published five acclaimed collections known as the Conversations series, which sprung from informal talks between the two men.
In this newly edited and re-structured one-volume version, Craft brings Stravinsky's reflections on his childhood, his family life, professional associates, and personal relationships into sharper focus and places the major compositions in their cultural milieux. The Conversations books are the only published writing attributed to Stravinsky that are actually "by him" in terms of fidelity to his thoughts and opinions, making this volume required reading for all fans and students of Stravinsky's music.
About the Author:
Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) is perhaps best known for his revolutionary ballet Le Sacre du printemps.
Robert Craft, the author of more than a dozen books on Stravinsky, continues to write about the composer and conduct his music on recordings.

Book Description Condition: Muy bueno. The contents of this series of conversations - dating from the last years of Stravinsky's life - were taken down by Robert Craft in informal talks with the composer. Craft lived for 21 years with the Stravinskys in their Hollywood home, or nearby, and for two more years in a next-door hotel room in New York. In the early 1950s Craft accompanied the composer on his concert tours, and from the mid-1950s to the end of Stravinsky's life co-conducted his concerts. This one-volume version brings Stravinsky's reflections on his childhood, his family life, professional associates and personal friendships into sharper focus and places the major compositions in their cultural milieux. These are the only published writings attributed to Stravinsky that are actually "by him", in the sense of fidelity to the substance of his thoughts, which should make this volume required reading for all students and lovers of Stravinsky's music.
