TRANSLATIONS

This set of 24 essays, written by Stravinsky's close friend and collaborator from 1948 until the composer's death in 1971, addresses an unusual mixture of topics, some biographical, others musical, and most recycled. What binds them together is their powerful insight. Craft has grouped the essays so that the topics jump back and forth from Stravinsky's intimate personal relationships to his creative efforts. The result is a compelling set of snapshots of the artist that reveal a fascinating and complex personality, written with critical distance and true affection. Recommended.-- Timothy J. McGee, Univ. of Toronto Copyright 1993 Cahners Business Information.
