  2. History: That year
  3. 1927

The year 1927 in classical music and in lyrical art

1927. With other artists, Richard Strauss, Edward Elgar and Béla Bartók influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Mstislav Rostropovich, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Œdipus Rex” de Igor Stravinsky, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1927 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 350 of these moments for 1927.
