    In her Philadelphia Orchestra subscription debut, Orchestra Principal Horn Jennifer Montone presents a rare performance of Strauss's Second Horn Concerto, the first ever by the Orchestra. This wistful homage to the composer's late father, principal horn for the Munich Court Orchestra for nearly 50 years, was written during the composer's last years and is imbued with a retrospective character that contrasts sharply with the buoyant mood of the First Concerto he wrote at age 17. Max Reger's playful variations on Mozart's "Alla Turca" Piano Sonata present a more light-hearted look at nostalgia and tribute. Spanish-born veteran Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, artistic director of the Dresden Philharmonic and a favorite of local audiences since his American debut with The Philadelphia Orchestra in 1969, bookends the program with two great moments from opera, Weber's brilliant Overture to Oberon and the effervescent Suite from Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier.
