It's the https in the link that breaks it a bit, just remove the "s"

Robert Schumann
(Zwickau, June 8, 1810 - Endenich, July 29, 1856)
In 2006, he was overshadowed, first by Mozart and then by Shostakovich. In 2010 by Chopin and, despite also being celebrated in 2011, by Mahler. And yet I am talking about one of the most important composers of the 1800s and of music history but, such is the perverse logic of centennials or hundred-and-fifty-anniversaries.
Today, here, I want to celebrate him as I believe he deserves by proposing three of his compositions among my favorites.
Dal mio punto di vista il Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra Opus 54 è il più bello fra quelli composti dopo Beethoven e prima di Brahms e, Martha Argerich è, semplicemente, straordinaria.
From my point of view, the Piano Concerto Opus 54 is the most beautiful among those composed after Beethoven and before Brahms and, Martha Argerich is, quite simply, extraordinary.
Too bad, but I couldn't find them complete!

Thank you Frank, for giving me the opportunity to listen to this composer whom I did not know!

You are right: it is Tomaso. Not Tommaso.
The apocalypse is postponed!

Arrigo Boito
(Padua, February 24, 1842 - Milan, June 10, 1918)
What are you saying? Is it incorrect? Yes, you are right, but as a composer, I don't like Boito. I prefer him as a librettist. What can I do?
And then there is Otello and he, number 1: Carlos Kleiber!

I feel it is necessary to remember him even today, the day of his birthday and his funeral.
