Igor Stravinsky was a celebrity composer in an increasingly celebrity-obsessed age. He was a true modern; a man of his time. Born in Russia; Stravinsky spent most of his long life in exile. While he swiftly became a cosmopolitan figure; the exilersquo;s sense of distance; loss and nostalgia left a powerful mark on his work.Stravinsky tells of a colourful life lived against the backdrop of the twentieth centuryrsquo;s wars and revolutions. Stravinskyrsquo;s extraordinary music reflected and shaped his own times; and resonates with audiences even today.
