1857, from day to day
1857. With other artists, Mikhail Glinka, Franz Liszt and Gioachino Rossini influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Edward Elgar, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Tristan and Isolde” de Richard Wagner, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1857 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 190 of these moments for 1857.
