High-maintenance Schumann, Low-maintenance Haydn
In today's show, two composers who couldn't be more different from each other. Robert Schumann was passionate, tormented, quixotic, the personification of the Romantic temperament. Joseph Haydn, on the other hand, had a solidly Classical personality: sturdy, good-natured, humorous, dependable. We'll hear two masterpieces from both ends of the personality spectrum, from concerts in Warsaw and Berlin.
