Join us on Sunday, Nov. 28th at 1 PM on WRTI 90.1 and Monday, Nov. 29th at 7 PM on WRTI HD-2 to hear this Philadelphia Orchestra in Concert broadcast from 2018 that brings you a work the Orchestra has performed as often as any in its history, the Symphony No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninoff, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

A melody in Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony was made famous to fans of Eric Carmen’s pop tune “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again.” But in the symphony, that melody leads to one of the most beautiful, and difficult, clarinet solos in the literature. WRTI’s Susan Lewis has the story.

In this episode of The Philadelphia Orchestra in Concert on WRTI, Yannick Nézet-Séguin leads the orchestra while Richard Woodhams, formally the orchestra's principal oboe player, returns to the stage with his principal colleagues.
