Encounters with Stravinsky

This book covers the time when the author Paul Horgan discovered the music of Igor Stravinsky and as fate would have it, became Stravinsky's personal friend. Very biographical in the first years of Horgan's writing career then the exciting part comes into play when he actually meets Mr and Mrs. Stravinsky for the first time, and fosters a personal and professional friendship up until the death of the maestro. Anyone interested in the genius of Stravinsky and his life as a conductor touring the World after 70 years of age will be fascinated by this account.
