About this title

Synopsis

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. Together they 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.

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.
