Robert Craft
Robert Lawson Craft (October 20, 1923 – November 10, 2015) was an American conductor and writer. He is best known for his intimate working friendship with Igor Stravinsky, on which Craft drew in producing numerous recordings and books.
Life
Craft was born in Kingston, New York to Raymond and Arpha Craft and studied music at the Juilliard School. He became particularly interested in early music and the music of Claudio Monteverdi, Carlo Gesualdo, and Heinrich Schütz, and in contemporary music by the composers of the Second Viennese School and others.
Craft met Stravinsky in 1948, and from then until the composer's death in 1971, Craft continued to work alongside Stravinsky in a variety of roles. A relationship that started out with Craft in a rather modest role eventually evolved into a full artistic partnership. Craft compiled the libretti for Stravinsky's The Flood and A Sermon, a Narrative and a Prayer, and lived with Igor and Vera Stravinsky in Hollywood and later in New York City. Craft remained close to the composer's widow until her death in 1982.

Famous quotes by Robert Craft:
"We had several guests leaving the grounds. In the immediate area of the shooting there were only the people who were the focus of interest in that area - about 20 people."
"We have searches of all the gates. They are very controlled. We have security officers supervised by police officers who do the searches. We know for a fact that this weapon did not enter the fairgrounds."
"Since the start of the fair we have had very few problems. This is the first incident of any magnitude that has occurred and it was successfully resolved very quickly."
