two symphonic masterpieces
Today we'll feature two great symphonies, Schumann's Symphony No. 2 and Mozart's Symphony No. 40. Both were written during times of anguish in the composers' lives, but somehow each managed to find healing in the creative process. It's music to soothe the soul and challenge the spirit, today on Performance Today.
