Amazon.co.uk

Already noted for a book on his subject's art (The Music of Stravinsky),Stephen Walsh is equally illuminating about Igor Stravinsky's turbulent life. This first instalment of a projected two-volume work, covers the years 1882 to 1934, during which time Walsh shows the composer creating many of his famous works, most notably The Rite of Spring, whose riotous 1913 premiere announced the arrival of a boldly modern classical music. He follows Stravinsky from his native Russia to Switzerland and France, and a 10-week tour of America in 1925. Delving into Russian-language documents seldom consulted by Western scholars, Walsh corrects many factual errors and, more importantly, makes evident the importance of Stravinsky's Russian roots and musical training, which the composer himself often downplayed in later years in order to "cultivate the image of the 'synthetic' international master." He's similarly judicious in evaluating Stravinsky's stormy 20-year association with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and his seldom-adept juggling of a long-suffering wife and a more sophisticated mistress. Candid about his distaste for some of Stravinsky's behaviour and character traits, Walsh never seems nasty: "It is the richest personalities", he reminds us, "who engage us most fully." --Wendy Smith -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verf�gbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

A revealing biography of a brilliant composer. 4. Februar 2000

Von Midwest Book Review

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

Stravinsky was a fine composer who contributed to the development of modernism in art, but little about his personal life reveals his background. This biographical sketch evaluates both his music and his art, examining his contributions with a critical eye to revealing how his past influenced his creations and eventually his world. An excellent, in-depth critical profile evolves.

not a fun read 1. Mai 2011

Von frothy - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Taschenbuch

I love Stravinsky's music but this biography has so much minutely detailed information about Stravinsky's works that it was very difficult for the author to maintain the narrative's flow. Somebody warned me of this but the same was said about Richard Buckle's biography of Diaghilev (which I think is one of the greatest biographies ever written) so I went ahead and started reading this book anyway. I quit about half way through. Like a dictionary, this book may be good to consult if you want a particular piece of information about Stravinsky but reading it from cover to cover is a hard slog.

Rather Disappointing 5. August 2011

Von CatLover19781982 - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon best�tigter Kauf

Being a former concert pianist in training, I am extremely interested in 20th Century music. Stravinsky is one of my favorite composers. I looked forward to reading this biography; however, it was a little dry. It is extremely detailed, which should please any music historian, but my complaint is that it did not adequately address the premiere of The Rite of Spring in Paris. The Paris crowd rioted and Stravinsky walked the streets in gloom afterward (which I learned in college - not from this book). I have always thought that was an interesting event and would have liked more detail from the author, who appeared to think it was insignificant, while addressing every tiny detail of Stravinsky's personal life, squabbles over money, minor compositions, etc. I give it a C+.
