    Dutch-born conductor Jaap van Zweden, music director of the Dallas Symphony, leads The Philadelphia Orchestra in Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony, a deeply Russian piece that has been a favorite among local audiences since November 1909--when the composer himself led its Philadelphia Orchestra premiere, the first in a long series of performances with the Orchestra. Korean-born Han-Na Chang, who at the age of 11 won the Rostropovich International Cello Competition, joins Maestro van Zweden in Haydn's lyrical C-major Cello Concerto, likely written for Joseph Weigl, the capable cellist of Haydn's Esterházy court orchestra. The program opens with Dutch-born composer Johan Wagenaar's concert overture inspired by Edmond Rostand's 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac--a piece whose orchestral dazzle points to the influence of Richard Strauss's tone poems.
