1966951091966. Rare autograph letter signed by Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky. One page type-written dated December 21st 1966 and addressed to John McClure at Columbia Records the letter reads "Dear John Please answer this Mercury Record letter for me telling them that they can have the permission though they can have it I think without asking me in any case. I have been ordered to rest -- no conducting at all -- after Chicago. This postpones our January plans I greatly regret to say and not only for me as I realize bu can't help. Happy New Year to you and your wife. Igor Stravinsky." The recipient John McClure was an American recording producer at Columbia Records throughout the 1950s and later operated in a freelance capacity. He worked on over 30 recordings with Stravinsky 200 with Leonard Bernstein and oversaw recordings by the Boston Pops Orchestra under John Williams. Double matted and framed with a black and white portrait of Stravinsky. The entire piece measures 19.5 inches by 14.5 inches. In fine condition.
