1958, from day to day
1958. With other artists, Aaron Copland, Aram Khachaturian and Dmitri Shostakovich influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Andrea Bocelli, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “La voix humaine, Op. 171” de Francis Poulenc, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1958 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 400 of these moments for 1958.
