Stravinsky's buzzing scherzo inspired by the 'vital energy' and 'ferocious lyricism' of the world of bees sets the scene for the extreme virtuosity of Magnus Lindberg's Clarinet Concerto. Semyon Bychkov, making his first Proms appearance with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, also conducts Rakhmaninov's expansively lyrical Second Symphony, whose bitter-sweet Adagio carries the most lyrical clarinet solo in the orchestral repertory.
