Late Music - Sensual Musical

4CD box set of the radical later music of Igor Stravinsky. In 1944 Stravinsky met 20-year old music student Robert Craft, forging a deep friendship and creative partnership that would prove to be decisive in determining the composer's musical direction. With his career at an impasse, Craft encouraged Stravinsky to reevaluate the possibilities of 12-tone writing; introducing him to works by Schoenberg and Webern and to a generation of young composers with which he was scarcely familiar.
