  (39) Vienna Phil/Bernard Haitink

  The doyen of European conductors presents favourite repertoire with an ensemble closely associated with the history and traditions of orchestral music.

  The last of Haydn's symphonies, written while he was living in London, proved an instant critical and commercial success. Not so the Strauss, part-elegy for Mahler, part-celebration of the composer himself. Mingling childhood memories of a schoolboy mountaineering expedition with a deeper vision of man's place on earth, the work was received rather sniffily in Britain until dedicated interpreters such as Bernard Haitink arrived to change all that.

  (40) Last Night of the Proms

  Joseph Calleja (ten), Nicola Benedetti (vln), BBC Symphony Chorus & Orch/Jirí Belohlávek

  Join us for the year's biggest musical party with two very special guests. Since taking the nation by storm as 2004's BBC Young Musician of the Year, Scottish-born Nicola Benedetti has enhanced her reputation as one of Britain's most innovative and creative young violinists. We also welcome Joseph Calleja, the Maltese tenor who sings with the grace and elegance of the voices of a bygone era.

  A brace of Czechs acknowledges the sterling work of the BBC SO's outgoing chief, while contributions from 2012's anniversary composers include Delius's valedictory settings of Walt Whitman. More familiar home-grown music brings down the curtain in time-honoured fashion
