In this life of Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971), Charles M. Joseph does not evade the composer's less attractive qualities, including his rudeness, his anti-Semitism, and his support of Mussolini. He places explores Stravinsky's difficult relationship with his son, analyzes his friendships with such figures as T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, and Orson Welles, and places him at a high level in the pantheon of great composers. AUTHOR: Charles M. Joseph
