Stravinsky

The biography of Igor Stravinsky by François Hudry , illustrated by Antonio Lapone and accompanied by 2 compact discs.

The “sun” Stravinsky , as Francis Poulenc called him, shone over a good part of the 20th century, illuminating and inspiring a number of young composers around him. The brilliant Russian composer, Janus with a thousand faces like his friend Pablo Picasso , constantly questioned himself by creating a series of totally different works with extraordinary freedom and immense creative energy. Let us remember the lesson of this modern Sisyphus who tirelessly pushed his stone ever further and onto new paths.
