The centrepiece of this Prom by the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra and Han-Na Chang is Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. Vivid with textural contrasts and sudden surging climaxes, it is matched for drama by Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto – a Proms favourite, with a slow movement that burns with restrained passion.

After an absence of almost a decade, the Cleveland Orchestra returns to the Proms with music by Brahms and Jörg Widmann. Brahms’s stormy and intricately structured First Symphony contrasts with the levity of his Academic Festival Overture, while Widmann’s concerto – composed for Cleveland’s principal flautist Joshua Smith – is both playful and disorienting.
