Brahms struggled for years to write his first symphony. All that hard work sowed the seeds for a second symphony, though, which followed in very short order, and was much easier for him to write. We'll enjoy it during our music this evening beginning at 8 p.m. on 91.1 and 107.5 FM and our music stream.
From WSHU's daytime and evening classical programs, Kate Remington and Lauren Rico give you a heads-up on some of the best music they've selected.
Listen tonight: "Now, what was so hard about that?"
