The eighth volume of the Musicmasters portrait of the 20th century's most celebrated musician is entitled New Directions, but most of the works on this recording--Capriccio, a brief piano concerto; the Cantata of 1952; and the Septet, written a year later--represent, alas, Stravinsky's exuberant neo-classicism. As usual, Robert Craft conducts with intelligence and elegance. More interesting musically are the Three Songs from William Shakespeare and In Memoriam: Dylan Thomas. The last of many styles Stravinsky appropriated in his long career was serialism, and the results, as one would expect, are entirely personal, entirely enchanting. --Joshua Cody
