Uniquely at the Proms, we hear a second performance of Beethoven's great hymn to humanity, which contrasts with Honegger's violent 'war' symphony (given its UK premiere at the Proms). While the later work expresses doubts over the future of civilisation, Beethoven offered his more optimistic vision of hard-won triumph over adversity.
