here's a more lengthy interview between stravinsky and his protege, robert craft. the two explore the great composer's life, from childhood to his late years in los angeles. this goes into more depth than CONVERSATIONS WITH IGOR STRAVINSKY, which i have read over and over throughout the years. if you've read the more popular book and are a fan, pick this up (if you can find it) ... fills in some of the gaps that the other books have left out.

My favorite of the "conversation" books so far (although they are anything but conversational and Robert Craft's non seqitur follow ups to Stravinsky's rambling associations are occasionally hilarious).
