Stravinsky: The Second Exile, France and America 1934-1971
Stravinsky from the flight to France through Hollywood, in what may be the best life of him.
Stephen Walsh’s second volume follows Stravinsky through exile in France, the move to America, the Hollywood years, and the late turn to serialism that surprised everyone. It is a musical biography in the full sense, taking the scores as seriously as the life, and good enough to send readers back for the first volume.

Stephen Walsh, Stravinsky: The Second Exile, France and America 1934-1971. Yes, it made me order and want to read the first volume as well. This is likely the best biography of Stravinsky and his musical times.
