Schubert in Surround Sound

Recording technology has evolved a long way from the early scratchy mono recordings of a century ago. In today's show, PT listeners with surround sound technology can enjoy Franz Schubert coming at them from every direction. The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra plays his Second Symphony, recorded in surround sound. And don't worry. If you don't have surround sound, it will sound just like a regular broadcast. Plus, more celebrations of the Mexican bicentennial: music by Silvestre Revueltas and Juventino Rosas.
