		Craft compares Stravinsky to an "exposed nerve" when in the throes of creative fervour, but at all times the composer was hugely protective of his acolyte.
		Craft proof-read for the author (who was practically blind), drove him to and from his meetings and took long walks with him.
		Craft and the author also shared in less erudite pursuits, including a visit to San Diego zoo, where Huxley treated Craft to a cage-by-cage running commentary of the sexual proclivities of various animals, and sneaky visits to the Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset Boulevard and the Beverly Hills Delhaven for calorific banana splits.

		Robert Craft is a very talented musician and writer and has had a more important career with many more valuable contributions than people remember.
		If Craft's own art is not that well known to the man in the street, all the better for the role he assumes in his many books about Stravinsky -that of an 'intimate without portfolio', as it were, able to illumine Stravinsky from the inside out, no small feat indeed.
		Craft's is a most perceptive mind, a mirror-mind to Stravinsky's in many ways, and more than a glimpse is thereby afforded of one of the titanic creative forces of the twentieth century.

	James Fenton on tea at the Ritz with Robert Craft \| Review \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Robert Craft, the American conductor and Stravinsky's former assistant, was in London recently, and his publishers, Naxos Books, put on a tea at the Ritz.
		Craft's new book, Down a Path of Wonder, is a collection of his essays and memoirs, covering a wide range of music, literature and travel.
		Craft's response to this was not to explode, or to flounder around, but to concede a point here and there, while attempting to restate his case - a clearly large and complex case that would take a long time, and much patience, to set out.

		Craft was also an early advocate of the Second Viennese School composers Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern, conducting important performances and recordings of their music.
		The first four CDs of the Robert Craft Collection have recently been released; two are devoted to the music of Schoenberg, one to Stravinsky, and one to Webern.

	ArkivMusic \| Stravinsky: Oedipus Rex, Les Noces / Wells, Craft
		Robert Craft leads a thrilling performance of Oedipus Rex--incisive, swift, and as mercilessly inevitable as fate itself.
		Anyone who believes that Craft is a dull conductor should listen to this urgent account--from the great choruses (first announcing Jocasta's entrance, with particularly clear timpani and piano ostinatos, and later her death), to the Verdian energy he brings to the Oedipus/Jocasta duet in Act 2.
		Craft ensures that for once we really hear the Russian, and just as significantly he balances his forces perfectly so that singers and instrumentalists play off each other with an astonishing degree of rhythmic tension.

	CONCERT: ROBERT CRAFT IN STRAVINSKY PROGRAM - New York Times
		ROBERT CRAFT remains Igor Stravinsky's indefatiguable champion - the constant flow of what might called scholarly scrapbooks of Stravinskyana edited by him attest to that.
		Craft took this same approach, and while there were moments one might have wished for (or at least tolerated) a greater degree of theatricality, the results were still deeply satisfying.
		Craft is now a better conductor (although visually, he still marks time like a college choirmaster, as if he were almost embarrassed to be there).

		In this rich volume of cultural commentary, Robert Craft's flashing intellect illuminates, communicates, and assesses the thought and genius of half a decade of ferment in the arts.

		Craft's apparently universal scope provides him with comfortable command, whether the subject is W. Auden's and T. Eliot's politics, body language in Renaissance painting, the little known (to American audiences) Danish writer Jens Peter Jacobsen and Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard, Martha Graham's boudoir, or authoritative considerations of the music of Schoenberg and Stravinsky.

	TO CRITICIZE THE CRITIC - The New York Review of Books
		Craft can demonstrate such derivation throughout, let us say, Schoenberg's A Survivor from Warsaw (not The Survivor of Warsaw as he would have it), or Berg's Violin Concerto, or Boulez's Second Piano Sonata, then I and the whole world of musicology will be greatly indebted to him.
		Craft chooses from among my "great many simple errors of fact." Perséphone, he says, is not a ballet, and yet Stravinsky in his own notes on producing the work recommends that "the staging could be worked out entirely in choreographic terms" (I quote from Dialogues and a Diary by Igor Stravinsky and one Robert Craft).
		Craft, "never redeemed by novelties of perspective or musical percipience" it follows that he is arguing with views which are already familiar.

	Stravinsky Review - Robert Craft
		Robert Craft, the well-known composer, conductor, and protege of Igor Stravinsky, has written often about Stravinsky in the past, but in his new collection, STRAVINSKY: GLIMPSES OF A LIFE, he deals with areas that his previous works have not covered, at least not in depth.
		Here, for example, Craft recounts the tribulations suffered by Catherine Stravinsky, the composer’s first wife, who was summarily rejected by Stravinsky after he fell in love with Vera Sudeikina, who was to become the second Mrs.
		It is to Catherine Stravinsky’s credit that she accepted this turn of events with almost superhuman grace and seemed to be concerned primarily with her husband’s welfare and the welfare of the Stravinsky children.

	:: INKPOT - Arnold Schoenberg - Gurre-Lieder - Robert Craft - NAXOS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Robert Craft shows here that he has rethought his Schoenberg, and brings the best playing out of the Philharmonia and the Simon Joly singers.
		More so than in Chailly's and Ozawa's renditions, Craft is not afraid to indulge in the lushness of the massed orchestral timbres, passionate outbursts of drama and simply wallowing in theatrics, yet without losing the focus and clarity of poweful storytelling.
		Melanie Diener may not be the sweetest-voiced Tove on record, but she gives a gripping, eloquent account full of pathos, floating over Craft's lightly placed instrumental textures.
