Mariss Jansons returns with his Bavarian band to present two orchestral showpieces, Strauss's Nietzsche-inspired Also sprach Zarathustra, immortalised by Stanley Kubrick in his 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Sibelius's Second Symphony, which immediately evokes the composer's primordial Finnish homeland, despite having been sketched in Italy.

Knussen's Ophelia Dances continues our Shakespeare-in-music theme, quoting Debussy and Schumann among the 'old tunes' Hamlet's lover sings while drowning. His Requiem for his late wife Sue (which includes an eloquent setting of Auden, whose centenary we celebrate this year) features alongside Webern's fleeting miniatures and Julian Anderson's rapturously received Book of Hours.
