Stravinsky, Nicolas Nabokov & A Drop of Scotch
Ойын-сауық
this 1966 doc on Stravinsky follows him to the studio recording of Symphony of Psalms, in a tiny apartment with composer Nicolas Nabokov drinking scotch from one glass and of course while cameras roll. Cocteau had just had a stroke.

In 10 minutes they speak Russian, German, French, Italian and English. That's amazing.

It's amazing how well Stravinsky got along with his friends. I just looked up Nicolas Nabokov, and I found out that he died exactly 7 years after Stravinsky died. Holy cow, what a coincidence.

I did not know that. But in the documentary which is on my playlist it goes into Nabokov's analysis of Stravinsky's conducting style. This is during the rehearsal for symphony of Psalms you really ought to listen to what he had to say. Now I don't have the link handy son of a bitch
Stravinsky was as witty as his music. Wonderful to see.

I was looking at the Wikipedia page and apparently Vladimir Nabokov was also a translator, knowing French, English, Russian. Died in 1977 which I thought made him plausible. Apparently Nicolas Nabokov died in 1978. They were 1st cousins too.

@@mrnarason Plausible in some respects but implausible as to artistic affinity. In a 1964 Playboy interview V. Nabokov said: “I have no ear for music, a shortcoming I deplore bitterly. When I attend a concert-which happens about once in five years-I endeavor gamely to follow the sequence and relationship of sounds but cannot keep it up for more than a few minutes."

Fatova Mingus that’s not really true, Stravinsky was quite successful during his life. Actually he was the most famous composer during his life time. He struggled with money at times, but he always got commissions and concerts. He had multiple houses and traveled a lot.

The conversation is imressive, thanks.. Would you kindly replace the "a" in second syllable...
The date of this conversation given in the titel is wrong. It could not happen in 1966, because Cocteau -- whom were said he is sick -- died in 1963. It was just in the same year: 1963.

Well both Koenig & Kroiter narrated this doc and then....Janos Darvas who knew just what to pick up off the cutting room floor. There's a lot of little mistakes. There is footage of the maestro in that very room quoting St. Paul and the guy never said such a thing. We LOVE Igor Stravinsky though.
Does anyone know about the documentary made for CBS by David Oppenheim? That would be a dynamite addition to upload to KZread.

Okay. You don't need to use exclamation s. This is up on my channel twice I corrected it once and then likely forgot about the rest. The footage from Janos Darvas is outstanding and takes much of this information and really addresses the man Stravinsky in 2001. This is like a police report if you ask me. And you know it's very hard to get this stuff to post it and to not get in trouble. I always like it someone corrects me if I have the wrong dancers name or something. When I started this channel in 2009 we would just teach each other. And I'd like to continue that
"But where is god?" Lol
And a filming crew for some reason couldn’t get at the hotel another glass for these aristocratic drinkers? Beginners :D
