1995, from day to day
1995. With other artists, Claudio Abbado, Ennio Morricone and Pierre Boulez influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Miklós Rózsa. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 3” 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 1995 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 240 of these moments for 1995.
