Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour in Somewhere in Time.

If you remember the movie Somewhere in Time, you know the music. That soaring, romantic theme—haunting and unforgettable—comes from Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Tonight, hear the full work: from fiery flourishes to that heart-stopping Variation 18 that made Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour’s love story feel timeless. Listen tonight on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.

Julie Freddino is WSHU's program director. She also hosts Sunday Spotlight and produces Sunday Baroque.
