- This documentary is an informal portrait of the great modern composer Igor Stravinsky. Proudly American, though still very much an Old World figure with a long and alert memory for people and events in music, literature and art, Stravinsky is depicted here conducting the CBC Symphony Orchestra in a recording of his Symphony of Psalms.
Directed by Roman Kroitor - 1966 | 49 min

Was looking eagerly for my dad in the orchestra (Howard ‘Cokey’ Campbell, clarinet). But checked the description and realized he had died before this doc was made. He introduced me to Stravinsky’s music. That introduction has led to a lifetime love and gratitude for this great composer’s musical labours! ❤️
My late father, Jose Rodriguez, violist, Pittsburgh Symphony, was a huge aficionado of Stravinsky's work. My introduction was Firebird Suite.

The woman at the start of the film helping Stravinsky with his coat is Lillian Libman. She was his manager and agent. Libman penned a memoir, "And Music at the Close", after Stravinsky's death. Libman died in 1992 at age 80.
Honestly this is one of my favourite documentaries. I remember seeing it on the NFB site years ago and wished it was on TH-cam as well. And now it is!
Stravinsky was a genius composer and musician! Thank you for "fire bird", "trois mouzvements de petroucka" and "rite of the spring" just to call a few compositions besides his great opus...
Great! I really liked his best friend and wife moments. McClure was great as a recording engineer also. Thank you.
My greatest musical hero.
Mine is Johann Sebastian Bach!
@@prokastinatoreBach was a heavenly musical genius. Stravinsky was an earthly musical genius.

Amazing document ❤
the best line here... " naked before God. But where is God?" Nice.
Did anyone count the number of languages that Nabokov and Stravinsky spoke during their visit??? Holy polyglots, Batman!
😮 how many??
They spoke english, then french, then a bit of russian and german, one word of italian, and then back to russian, then back to english, and finished in french.
I'm lucky to be french and to know a bit of german otherwise that conversation would've been impossible to follow. Stravinsky is very comfortable in french, more than Nabokov, and the translations don't pick up all the nuances in what he said in french.
a real boss - thanks for this!
Vera was not only a beautiful woman, she was really charming, look at her eyes, everyone will fall in love with her.
Thank you for this very important upload.
Neat!
Is Orsen Wells the narrator?!
Anyone know the font used for the baked-in subtitles?
The closest matches I found were Qanelas Soft Heavy and Cooper Hewitt Heavy

"pick it up you bastards!"
This is a great documentary about grown men acting like toddlers over small mistakes
Who's that guy playing in the beginning? Intirely ignoring the orchestra waiting to record. Incredibly rude
Julian Bream, the great lutenist. It was then or never!
Bream died in 2020. He was the world's greatest player of the lute. He was quite kind and respectful.
"That guy" is the great lutenist and guitarist Julian Bream.
Stravinsky sure knew he was chatting with Julian Bream!!! and was happy to.
Bream was always stalking composers in attempt to commission new works. He greatly enriched the guitar literature of the 20th century but unfortunately his efforts with Stravinsky came to nothing.
But it WAS barbaric music (5:11) It was meant to be!
