It's called "Stravinsky" and dates from 1965 (if you believe IMDB.com) 
or 1966 (if you believe the NFB of C).  Neither site says who the 
voiceover guy is.  Orson Welles was probably available.  Interestingly 
enough, IMDB lists five "cast" members, with Bream listed first, before 
the Stravinskys and Robert Craft.  It's alphabetical.
