- this 1966 doc on Stravinsky follows him to the studio recording of Symphony of Psalms, in a tiny apartment with composer Nicolas Nabokov drinking scotch from one glass and of course while cameras roll. Cocteau had just had a stroke.

In 10 minutes they speak Russian, German, French, Italian and English. That's amazing.
You would actually have to have four people in the room took to make that happen today
@@fatovamingus aand Gerrman!
And German!
He also spoke an amazing German!
This is remarkable. A biographer described Stravinsky as having a "pinpoint intelligence." You can tell from this brief film the way his mind worked. Trilingual and enjoyed scotch.
@@martyjourard7172 please look me up on Vimeo to see the full documentary
It's amazing how well Stravinsky got along with his friends. I just looked up Nicolas Nabokov, and I found out that he died exactly 7 years after Stravinsky died. Holy cow, what a coincidence.
I did not know that. But in the documentary which is on my playlist it goes into Nabokov's analysis of Stravinsky's conducting style. This is during the rehearsal for symphony of Psalms you really ought to listen to what he had to say. Now I don't have the link handy son of a bitch
4:28. "a drop of scotch."
Tout simplement merveilleux.
And one glass!
Stravinsky was as witty as his music. Wonderful to see.
Take a look around the channel you will find a lot of interesting witnessisms
@@fatovamingus I will, thanks! 😊
Can you imagine being the guy that got to share a drink with Stravinsky and Nabokov? What an amazing memory to have. I would have to bore every person with the details!
I KNOW!! I think that too. What I love is that the Maestro is in a dump apartment with only one glass. But the sad truth was he spent most of his life without much money
Fatova Mingus that’s not really true, Stravinsky was quite successful during his life. Actually he was the most famous composer during his life time. He struggled with money at times, but he always got commissions and concerts. He had multiple houses and traveled a lot.
Fatova Mingus - The footage wasn't filmed in an apartment , it was filmed on board a ship.
@@BrainiacFingers oh yes? Oh you mean the scene while yes perhaps the scene. My copy without subtitles goes far beyond the scene but thank you
@@RyanRenteria nah. Wrong.
Pure gold this. !
I have great concerns over RUclips's overreaching lately. But there's another spot that begins with a V and they seem to be a little less ridiculous
For Igor, music is all you need. And one glass to drink from!
exactly
no, this is not the writer vladimir nabokov. this is his cousin and russian composer nicolas nabokov.
Did I say Vladimir? I didn't know of only Nicolas but thank you for the correction and information~
you're welcome. thanks to you for posting this video
I was looking at the Wikipedia page and apparently Vladimir Nabokov was also a translator, knowing French, English, Russian. Died in 1977 which I thought made him plausible. Apparently Nicolas Nabokov died in 1978. They were 1st cousins too.
@@mrnarason Plausible in some respects but implausible as to artistic affinity. In a 1964 Playboy interview V. Nabokov said: “I have no ear for music, a shortcoming I deplore bitterly. When I attend a concert-which happens about once in five years-I endeavor gamely to follow the sequence and relationship of sounds but cannot keep it up for more than a few minutes."
Strange he looks like David Lynch
I got excited to see my favorite author and one of my favorite composers meeting. I’ll settle for this though. Thanks for sharing.
that would be the long shot i would love
What author??? “Christoph Nabokov”? 🤦♀️
Nicolas Nabokov was a conductor musician. He was a cousin of Vladimir Nabokov. Both were exiled to the West after the Russian Revolution.
Author Vladimir Nabokov, and Conductor Nicolas Nabokov were cousins. Both were exiled from Russia after the 1917 Revolution. Not to be confused.
Ty Uploader - this vid is beautiful !!!!
It is wonderful to see and hear them speak together and have this footage. But part of me just wants to tell the film crew to get out and leave these 2 old friends alone.
But still, it’s incredible to see this - they are both so polite and generous.
You realize, of course, that the incredibility gap was bridged by the dogged film crew that part of you wanted to banish?
@@molocious
Of course I do. Thank you for stating the obvious 😆
Enorme placer ver y escuchar al genio y sus ilustres amigos.
Gracias.❤❤❤
@@adolfoleongomez4631 the full documentary and more are on my vimeohhh channel
Of course, this is composer Nicolas Nabokov, cousin of the writer Vladimir Nabokov.
With the only difference it says “Christoph” 😬
Игорь Стравинский по сей день - живее всех живых.
Вроде Yamaha засемплировала его "фишку" из партитуры "ЖАР-ПТИЦЫ", назвала семпл "Orchestral Hit" и вставила в саунд-банки своих инструментов. Сегодня непросто найти синтезатор, в памяти которого не хранился бы Orchestral Hit.⛵️

5:40. the search for the right word is the very essence of cosmopolitanism.

Does anyone know about the documentary made for CBS by David Oppenheim? That would be a dynamite addition to upload to RUclips.
I think I have it in the "Stealing Igor" file. et m check
Solidat, yea?
actually no one knows about this. i talked to the family and they do not either...help us out here
The date of this conversation given in the titel is wrong. It could not happen in 1966, because Cocteau -- whom were said he is sick -- died in 1963. It was just in the same year: 1963.
Well both Koenig & Kroiter narrated this doc and then....Janos Darvas who knew just what to pick up off the cutting room floor. There's a lot of little mistakes. There is footage of the maestro in that very room quoting St. Paul and the guy never said such a thing. We LOVE Igor Stravinsky though.
Великолепное видео!..
The conversation is imressive, thanks.. Would you kindly replace the "a" in second syllable...
thank you very much for posting this video! nevertheless please make change of the video name - it's the Russian composer Nicolas Nabokov, the cousin of the writer Vladimir Nabokov, check here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Nabokov спасибо :) thank you :)
NabOkov, not Nabakov
why on earth would you need to make that correction (though I am grateful).? It interests me how people like to one-up each other with knowledge when teaching is better. That's how I learned
@@fatovamingus Russian spelling can be a bit ambiguous but no where have I seen Nabokov spelled like Nabakov, a different vowel.
Thank you for correcting me without being condescending. I'll fix it
i am going o upload something for you,,,,

To sit talk and drink scotch with 'Stravinsky' would in my dreams be really something? Dont know if 'Igor' ever visited Ireland but I'm sure he would have enjoyed tasting the Irish Whiskey brands as well?
DUBLIN 1963 and I think the concert is online somewhere! (He only drank Polish Vodka btw)
could someone make out the last statement by the narrator at the end of this video? Who died screaming, who died laughing, and who died slowly?
Gogol, Diaghilev, Ravel.
5:09
Hell yea. The one glass drop of scotch. Legendary.
@@fatova7190 , His unforgettable intonation coupled with charm made my last evening really joyful
It is so endearing, no? I am responding high on medication so excuse spelling. Please look at "This Is Stravinsky" on my channel and comment because I am interested in your vision
why would they choose to speak in french instead of russian?
Perhaps it was easier to translate
French has always been the language of The Russian Elites. Only intensified by the diaspora of The Revolution. I remember, by the way, the first 75 pages of War and Peace were written in French,at least a large portion of the dialogue.
Neither of them had been in Russia for decades, both spoke French from childhood and lived quite a while in France.
french was an universal language at the time
Who's this Nobokov gentleman?
yup you can spell
именины сердца
сортир улыбнуло ))
Кто этот НабАков??
Zina M. это его двоюродны брат, Николай
Давно эмигранты , но ведут себя как русские . Какая милота ))))))))))
..awwwwrrright Iggy Baby... " Just a drop pf Scotch ".......
in one glass
Nabakov is so similar to Boris Yeltsin.
its Eltsin?
Yes, and Gorbachev drinks with him.
JEAN COCTEAU DIED IN OKTOBER 1963 the dat after edith piaf died..so the documentary was surely not lade in 1966 but 1963
There is a lot of footage in this and the subsequent Janos Darvas documentary "Kompositor". But none of it was shot live so it would make sense that the doc is a few years after 1963. I did not know the great Piaf dies the day before Cocteau!!
Nabakov the writer?
yes. he and the maestro were very tight.
I love Bugalov..Your a mine of information and sexy to boot. Color me impressed
that is not Vladimir Nabokov, its his cousin Nicholas
1966? Cocteau died in 1963! This is filmed obviously short before Cocteau's death!
By the way, this is Nicolas Nabokov, the CIA agent.
Okay. You don't need to use exclamation s. This is up on my channel twice I corrected it once and then likely forgot about the rest. The footage from Janos Darvas is outstanding and takes much of this information and really addresses the man Stravinsky in 2001. This is like a police report if you ask me. And you know it's very hard to get this stuff to post it and to not get in trouble. I always like it someone corrects me if I have the wrong dancers name or something. When I started this channel in 2009 we would just teach each other. And I'd like to continue that
When they started speaking Russian, they are immediately remember to drink.
@@livingyourlife3130 my name Vimeo full doc
А Вл.Набоков здесь ни при чем.... Смешной Стравинский, забавный в старости ! Старался точно перевести с русского....прилежный композитор!
ну тьй
And a filming crew for some reason couldn’t get at the hotel another glass for these aristocratic drinkers? Beginners :D
But it does make it charming. Stravinsky liked scotch. He said he never gets seasick. He gets seadrunk.
"But where is god?" Lol
