1984, from day to day
1984. With other artists, John Cage, Mstislav Rostropovich and Vladimir Horowitz influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Ethel Merman. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Akhnaten” de Philip Glass, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1984 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 340 of these moments for 1984.
