1988, from day to day
1988. With other artists, Claudio Abbado, Leonard Bernstein and Astor Piazzolla influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Yevgeny Mravinsky. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “1000 Airplanes on the Roof” de Philip Glass, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1988 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 290 of these moments for 1988.
