    You Were Maybe Expecting a Speed-Read Version of Stravinsky's Life??
  

*by L***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2016*

I can't imagine what some of these reviewers were expecting; after reading their negative comments, I hesitated to buy this biography.But I'm glad that I ignored them and bought the book, since I find Mr. Walsh's writing to be very compelling, illuminating and extremely insightful. Walsh is a master of organizing his voluminous material, producing an immensely readable narrative, which flows logically while continually yielding fascinating, detailed information about the life of the 20th-Century's greatest, most celebrated composer.HOW DID STRAVINSKY GET THAT WAY??? How was he able to make the quantum leap from a fairly routine, academic imitator of Rimsky K and Glazunov (his 1905 "Symphony in E-Flat") to the explosive, astounding, earth-shattering creator of Petrushka and The Rite of Spring--- all within a 5 or 6 year period? Stephen Walsh leads us through this incredible story in an engrossing, enjoyable and informative manner; for me, there's never a dull moment. In addition, the depth of Mr Walsh's technical expertise allows him to eloquently summarize the effect of Stravinsky's art in terms of its musical, historical and cultural influence.In addition, Walsh is continually on the lookout for inaccuracies which have accrued throughout the years---whether due to Stravinsky's, Robert Craft's, or any number of other chroniclers faulty memories or personal agendas. He really sets the record straight in many instances, backing up his findings with carefully documented evidence (letters, concert programs, timelines, etc).My one and only complaint: since Mr. Walsh's astonishing ability to craft a NARRATIVE is so impressive, I would have expected far more frequent mention of DATES-- especially the current YEAR in which the events occur; it would have greatly assisted a guy like me who likes to keep things in sequential order by framing the facts by DATE as they occur. A simple listing of the year at the top of each right-hand page would have easily solved this. There are times when I have to scour through 8-10 pages to recall what YEAR we are currently in while reading---something that is very important, say, in the WWI/Russian Revolution years.But it's a small gripe. This is one of the truly great biographical achievements in music. Volume 2 is on order.Highest recommendation.LR

    Exhaustingly thorough.
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2019*

Very wordy but thorough. Probably deserves a second reading. Will look forward to the second volume.
