The year 1972 in classical music and in lyrical art
1972. With other artists, Pau Casals, Carl Orff and Aram Khachaturian influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Oscar Levant. 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 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 1972 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 1972.
