Popularly known during his lifetime as "The World's Greatest Living
Composer," Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) not only wrote some of the
twentieth century's most influential music, he also assumed the
role of cultural icon. This book reveals Stravinsky's two sides-the
public persona, preoccupied with his own image and place in
history, and the private composer, whose views and beliefs were
often purposely suppressed. Charles M. Joseph draws a richer and
more human portrait of Stravinsky than anyone has done before,
using an array of unpublished materials and unreleased film trims
from the composer's huge archive at the Paul Sacher Institute in
Switzerland. Focusing on Stravinsky's place in the culture of the
twentieth century, Joseph situates the composer among the giants of
his age. He discusses Stravinsky's first American commission, his
complicated relationship with his son, his professional
relationships with celebrities ranging from T. S. Eliot to Orson
Welles, his flirtations with Hollywood and television, and his
love-hate attitude toward the critics and the media. In a close
look at Stravinsky's efforts to mold a public image, Joseph
explores the complex dance between the composer and his artistic
collaborator, Robert Craft, who orchestrated controversial efforts
to protect Stravinsky and edit materials about him, both during the
composer's lifetime and after his death.
