Classical Music with Shawn Evans - Thu, 07/28/2011
We'll continue with yesterday's theme of composers who ran afoul of the law and/or government of their day. Then, later, some composers who were priests and one who became a saint.
In addition to Gideon Klein and Ervin Schulhoff, other composers who died at Nazi concentration camps include Viktor Ullmann, Pavel Haas, and Hans Krasa.
