This 1957 NBC program opens with the composer at his piano as he creates a “sketch” or initial concept for a new piece; it then records a detailed conversation between Stravinsky and his protégé, respected American musicologist and conductor Robert Craft. The Russian émigré contemplates his youthful studies under Rimsky-Korsakov; the hostility with which The Rite of Spring was received; his fondness for the Paris milieu that included Picasso and other members of the modernist avant-garde; his reasons for conducting his own work, whenever possible; and his eulogistic piece written for Dylan Thomas, originally intended as an opera.

Rite of Spring still slays me in a good way!! 🎉😮❤
This is a balm to the mind and soul in our coarse and vapid age.
Love the diversity of the uploads! Channels like this one really is part if what makes the internet great
This video is priceless. An immortal composer caught in the act. Incredible. It’s amazing to me all that goes into a composer’s act of creation. Can this even happen nowadays?
Amazing
This is a revolution for internet and the new Civilisation. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful👍
Superb share. Invention, creation from the Will
Awesome!
Seems like a fun guy!
Not too sure about the description of this video stating that Stravinsky was sincere in discussing his music. He's well known to have been quite the opposite on multiple occasions.
Sweet pair
Thank you Dad
7:05 What a missed opportunity to have an insight into the actual framework of Igor Stravinsky's imagination and thought process from a creative standpoint. I want to know what he saw and imagined in his mind as he wrote. I want to know what colors and textures appeared, if any, in relation to the music he produced

When I work a piece, there's nothing visual at all. Just a surge of possibility for moments.
