Stravinsky (1965) watch online HD

This rather brief 1-hour documentary (in B&W) from 1965 shows Stravinsky conducting a recording of his "Symphony of Psalms" in Canada. We then follow him as he travels to Hamburg by boat. There are interviews with his second wife Vera, Bob Craft, Nicolas Nabokov, Stravinsky...and a brief clip of Balanchine rehearsing Movements for piano and orchestra (where one can recognize a very young Suzanne Farrell, Karin von Aroldingen, Jacques d'Amboise) Unfortunately, there's no interview with Mr. B.

I enjoyed this documentary immensely. It's a thrill to see the great Stravinsky near the end of his life--still vigorous in spirit (though physically frail), speaking warmly with his old friend Nabokov, drinking Scotch in his Hamburg hotel room... And we get to see a little of the Boswell-Johnson relationship between Craft and Igor. My few complaints are: no extras on the DVD and no interview with Balanchine. I don't understand why the directors did that. Nevertheless, it's worth renting (Netflix has it)or buying if you love Stravinsky. If you're new to Stravinsky, though, this documentary won't provide you with a lot of background/biographical information.
