Another chance to hear one of the world's great orchestras on their visit to last year's Proms with a programme of familiar classics including Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, written for the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Charles Dutoit conducts the ever-popular Tchaikovsky Concerto, with soloist Janine Janson, as well as Sibelius's nationalistic tone poem and Ravel's apotheosis of the waltz, a piece whose unstoppable whirling may have been intended as a metaphor for the fate of European civilisation.
