What is Catherine And Igor Stravinsky: A Family Chronicle 1906 - 1940 about?

As perhaps the most influential composer of the 20th century, Igor Stravinsky lived much of his long life on the public stage. But behind that public face was a very private man, at once father and husband, and patriarch of an extended but tightly knit Russian family. Written by the composers eldest son Theodore, along with Theodores wife Denise, these intimate memoirs take us to the very heart of the Stravinsky family home in the years up to the Second World War. This chronicle also contains a wealth of family photographs, revealing the composer not as the often-forbidding figure of the official photographic record, but as a husband and father at play and at work in the midst of a large and vibrant family. In this loving but clear-sighted picture of a family who counted among their friends a glittering cross-section of the twentieth centurys social and cultural elite, this fascinating biography provides a privileged insight into the home behind the public triumphs of one of the undisputed geniuses of modern music.
