The year 1992 in classical music and in lyrical art
1992. With other artists, Ennio Morricone, Mstislav Rostropovich and Claudio Abbado influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as John Cage. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Flashes on the beyond” de Olivier Messiaen, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1992 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 230 of these moments for 1992.
