Reviews

This meticulously documented book sheds new light on the first two decades of Stravinsky's association with America, from the time of his first concert tour in 1925 to the premiere of the Symphony in Three Movements at Carnegie Hall in Janunary 1946. . . . This is not only a book to delight lovers of Stravinskian minutiae but also one that provides a richly documented study of a period in Stravinsky's life that has received relatively little attention. * Gramophone *


Author Information

H. Colin Slim is Professor Emeritus of Music at the University of California, Irvine, where he served as the first Chair of the music program. He is past president of the American Musicological Society (1989­–1990) and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His two-volume A Gift of Madrigals and Motets was awarded the Otto Kinkeldey Award. He met Igor Stravinsky in 1952 and again in 1966, events that inspired a lifelong interest in the composer’s personal and professional life. His collection of Stravinsky ephemera, manuscripts, and documents was donated to the University of British Columbia, which published an annotated catalog of the collection in 2002.
