Simon/ Goldsmith

Scott talks to Martin Goldsmith, host of NPR's 'Performance Today,' about Amy Beach's 'Gaelic Symphony' written 100 years ago - the first by an American woman. They discuss the history of women in classical music, and are joined by composer Libby Larsen who - this week - premiered her cantata: 'Eleanor Roosevelt.'
