The 1990s
For classical music, the 1990s have brought mass CD sales of Gorecki, Nyman, Adiemus and Vanessa-Mae and seen Nigel Kennedy re-establish himself. For a while, marketing ruled - but does it still? Opera got a boost with the 1990 World Cup, and young composers like Mark-Anthony Tumage and Steve Martland took centre stage. Tommy Pearson looks back on the decade with Norman Lebrecht ,
Michael Berkeley and Fiona Maddocks.
