Schubert's Unfinished

Most of us have any number of unfinished projects around the house or at work. Empty photo albums, unwritten family histories, that pile of junk mail on the desk. Before you tackle any of it, tune into today's show and hear Franz Schubert's most famous loose end. Lorin Maazel leads the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony, from a recent concert in Munich.
