"This exceptional, intimate film follows the great composer and conductor Igor Stavinsky at his home in California, in London and in Hamburg, where he conducts an orchestra rehearsal. Stravinsky emerges as more than a great artist, but as a warm and witty personality, as he converses with a variety of friends and musical collaborators." . . . . . . "This is a model for the cinema verite portrait of a personality, the product of the filmmaker's close involvement with the subject while minimising the potentially disruptive effect of the camera's presence. It is not fragments of Stravinsky's life but a study of the artist's relation to his work. The composer is seen in conversation with a number of people in his Beverly Hills home and at a rehearsal session in Hamburg. Leacock's narration is functional and concise."@en . . "Summary: Made when Stravinsky (1882-1971) was in his eighties, this visits the great composer at his home in California, follows him to London and attends a taping session in Hamburg, where he conducts a rehearsal of the North German Radio Orchestra as they play his \"Variations dedicated to the memory of Aldous Huxley\" for a ballet to be choreographed by George Balanchine. Also included are extracts from converstions Stravinsky has with friends who drop by: examining a possible error in a printed score with Pierre Boulez, discussing the relativity of musical time with Balanchine, confessing to Christopher Isherwood that he likes the ast of composing better that the music itself and answering a number of questions put to him by Rolf Liebermann." . . .
