Stephen Walsh (writer)

Stephen Walsh (born 6 June 1942)[citation needed] is a British journalist, broadcaster, musicologist, and classical music biographer.[3][4][5][6][7] The first volume, Stravinsky: A Creative Spring, won the Royal Philharmonic Society Prize for best music book of 2000.[citation needed] The biography involved Walsh in a controversy with the composer's former assistant, Robert Craft, in the journal, Areté, which published a seventy-five-page interview with Craft consisting largely of an attack on the biography and its author, accusing him, among other things, of plagiarism.[8] Walsh responded by pointing out a large number of errors in Craft's own work and categorically refuting the accusation of plagiarism.[citation needed] Walsh's Mussorgsky and his Circle (2013) was shortlisted for the 2014 Pushkin House Book Award.
