Barzun and Tibbetts on Schumann, Beethoven

[DavidO]

John Tibbetts (University of Kansas) has an interesting audio interview with Jacques Barzun here:

It's a casual conversation about the Schumann, Beethoven, the Paris School, the French Revolution, Romantic literature, Freemasonry, &c. -- all part of Tibbetts's 15-part radio series "The World of Robert Schumann."

Thanks for posting that - a joy to listen to this remarkably intelligent and learned man. Happy 100th Jacques! Has anyone read his "Berlioz and the Romantic Century"? - I'd be interested to hear opinions.
