Today is a celebration both of the brilliant lyricism of Franz Schubert (born 1797) and the angular minimalism of Philip Glass (born 1937). They were each born on January 31st, yet their music couldn't be any more different. Listen to VPR Classical this afternoon to hear from both of them. Jan 31, 2012
