Editing Igor Stravinsky (section)

== Recordings ==
Stravinsky's need for money during the World Wars led him to sign many contracts with record companies to conduct his music.{{Sfn|Cook|2003|p=176}} His early exposure to player piano technology guided his view that records were far inferior to live performance but acted as historical documentation of how his works should be performed.{{Sfn|Cook|2003|pp=177, 179}}{{sfn|V. Stravinsky|Craft|1978|p=308}} As a result, Stravinsky left a massive archive of recordings of his own music, seldom recording music by other composers.{{sfn|Boretz|Cone|1968|p=268}}{{Sfn|Cook|2003|p=185}} Although most of his recordings were made with studio musicians, he also worked with the [[Chicago Symphony Orchestra]], the [[Cleveland Orchestra]], the [[CBC Symphony Orchestra]], the [[New York Philharmonic]], the [[Royal Philharmonic Orchestra]], and the [[Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra]].{{sfn|Boretz|Cone|1968|pp=268–288}} Stravinsky received five Grammy Awards and a total of eleven nominations for his recordings, with three of his albums being inducted into the [[Grammy Hall of Fame]].{{Sfn|Grammy Awards|n.d.a}}{{Sfn|Grammy Awards|n.d.b}} He was [[Posthumous award|posthumously awarded]] the [[Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award]] in 1987.{{Sfn|Grammy Awards|n.d.c}}

During his lifetime, Stravinsky appeared on several telecasts and documentaries.{{Sfn|Joseph|2001|p=165}} The first, ''A Conversation with Igor Stravinsky'', was released in 1957 by [[NBC]] and produced by Robert Graff, who later commissioned and produced ''The Flood''. The interview-like format later influenced the various volumes Craft wrote with Stravinsky.{{Sfn|Joseph|2001|pp=167–168}} The 1965 [[National Film Board of Canada]] documentary ''Stravinsky'', directed by [[Roman Kroitor]] and [[Wolf Koenig]], followed Stravinsky conducting the CBC Symphony Orchestra in a recording of the ''[[Symphony of Psalms]]'', with anecdotal interviews interspersed throughout.{{Sfn|Joseph|2001|p=171}} The 1966 CBS documentary ''Portrait of Stravinsky'' took the composer back to the [[Théâtre des Champs-Élysées]] (where ''The Rite of Spring'' premiered) and to his old home in Clarens, Switzerland.{{Sfn|Joseph|2001|pp=176, 178}} Other documentaries captured the collaborative process between Balanchine and Stravinsky.{{Sfn|Joseph|2001|p=172}}
