The year 1933 in classical music and in lyrical art
1933. With other artists, Sergei Prokofiev, Béla Bartók and Sergei Rachmaninoff influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Montserrat Caballé, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Arabella, Op. 79” de Richard Strauss, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1933 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 360 of these moments for 1933.
