1973, from day to day
1973. With other artists, Aram Khachaturian, Dmitri Shostakovich and Leonard Bernstein influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Pau Casals. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Judas Maccabaeus” de George Frideric Handel, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1973 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 1973.
