The year 1972 in classical music and in lyrical art
1972. With other artists, Aram Khachaturian, Carl Orff and Olivier Messiaen influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Brian Tyler, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 15 in A major, Op. 141” de Dmitri Shostakovich, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1972 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 370 of these moments for 1972.
