Stravinsky was born into a musicaI family in the littIe town of Lermontov near St Petersburg. His father was principal bass singer at the opera there, so music was part of his life. He studied at the St Petersburg conservatioire under Rimsky Korsakov and was soon making an impression with his compositions. He had early successes with his baIlet music for Diaghilev and over a long and productive Iife went on to become arguably the greatest composer of the twentieth century. The video traces his eventfuI Iife and ends with a brief overview of his compositions. |
