Press rewind on a century of the 成人快手 with an epic eight-hour soundscape: seismic events, cultural landmarks, unforgettable voices and 成人快手 history intertwined with classical music.

The 1970s see yet another change of direction with the rise of minimalism in music and works by composers Reich, Glass, Rautavaara and P盲rt. The term 鈥淲atergate鈥� becomes infamous, Saigon falls and the United Kingdom enters its Winter of Discontent. We hear a bold collaboration between violinist Yehudi Menuhin and sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar and as the decade draws to a close, the UK elects its first female prime minister.
