Osmo Vänskä makes a welcome return to the Proms to conduct the first Haydn symphony in this season's bicentenary celebration of the 'father' of the form: with its tick-tocking slow movement, the 'Clock' was one of the 12 'London' Symphonies that the Austrian composer wrote for his two extended visits to the capital in the early 1790s.
Szymanowski's tenderly devotional Stabat mater was partly inspired by the tragic death of a teenage niece. Co-star of the 2007 Last Night, Joshua Bell returns to play Brahms's Hungarian-accented Violin Concerto (returning again to make chamber music in Monday's PCM 6).
