False Advertising
In today's show, a couple of blatant cases of false advertising. Johannes Brahms promised his publisher a dour, sad, tragic Second Symphony. But what he delivered was the sunniest and cheeriest of all his symphonies. And Franz Schubert (pictured) subtitled his Fourth Symphony "The Tragic." Tune in to today's show and see if you think the label fits. We'll hear performances from New York and Amsterdam.
