spring is in the air
It may not be spring, at least in this hemisphere, but today you can get a taste of it. We'll feature a performance of Robert Schumann's "Spring" symphony from the Music Academy of the West. Normally depressed and anxious, Schumann wrote this sunny work at a time when he was blissfully, if only briefly, happy.
