(2) Hassan Moataz El Molla (cello), West-Eastern Divan Orch/Daniel Barenboim

Two familiar iconic masterpieces that embrace and extend the musical possibilites of their day frame two exploratory 20th-century miniatures from Pierre Boulez. Mémoriale was written in the memory of a young flautist colleague, while Messagesquisse spotlights the virtuosity of the orchestra's cellos

In his 'Pastoral' Symphony Beethoven leads us through an evocation of the Austrian countryside to symphonic euphoria. During the Second World War the Fifth's opening rhythmic figure became synonymous with 'V for victory' (Morse code's three dots and a dash), the call sign used by the BBC to occupied Europe

(3) Kronos Quartet

For almost 40 years, the Kronos Quartet has been reinventing the string quartet, regularly turning it into a multimedia experience. The group's first Proms appearance begins with high-octane Syrian folk-pop and ends with a Kronos commission blending classical strings with ethnic Balkan instruments, shouts, foot-stomping, bells and electronic overdubs

In between, varied fare from the group's eclectic repertoire plus a BBC commission inspired by the work of Delia Derbyshire of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (responsible for the realisation of Ron Grainer's Doctor Who theme). Listen out, too, for the otherworldly Kronos arrangement of a Scandinavian folk lament

In memory of Claude Debussy and Frederick Delius, both born 150 years ago, and in recognition of a time of phenomenal development, in the arts, sciences and social history we are turning today over to the era 1880-1914. Both composers would have been at their prime during this period, witnessing the wealthy upper classes of the western world revelling in lives of sophistication and pleasure while other segments of society struggled for equality, fair working conditions and respectful treatment by their contemporaries.

One of the regular events that drew attendance by people from all areas of society in the nineteenth century was the phenomenon of the Great Exposition, beginning at the Crystal Palace in 1851.

For your delight and entertainment, we have invented our own Expo Belle Epoque and during the day you will be led around the pavilions, in which countries are displaying their most distinguished work in various fields.

(4) Michael Barenboim (vln), IRCAM (live electronics), West-Eastern Divan Orch/Daniel Barenboim

Daniel Barenboim continues his survey of Beethoven, whose music, he believes, 'speaks to all people'. Today, two Beethoven symphonies of dancing athleticism and universal appeal frame one of Pierre Boulez's mesmerising extensions of earlier works: Anthèmes 2 is scored for violin and live electronics and its serenely beautiful expressivity may come as a surprise. Beethoven's ebullient Seventh, famously dubbed 'the apotheosis of dance', was the last piece conducted by Proms founder-conductor Henry Wood

(5) Vadim Gluzman (vln), BBC SO/Jirí Belohlávek

After last year's sensational complete Má Vlast comes Smetana's autobiographical E minor quartet, in George Szell's orchestration, another first for the Proms. Its finale is suddenly interrupted by a graphic illustration of the onset of deafness, a sustained high E, here on piccolo as well as violin, imitating the tinnitus that afflicted the composer. By contrast Prokofiev's concerto is one of his magical fairy-tale pieces, championed today by Proms debut artist, Vadim Gluzman

Dvořák's dark, passionate Seventh Symphony was commissioned by the Philharmonic Society of London, the composer himself crossing the Channel to direct the première

SMETANA orch Szell: String Quartet No 1 in E minor, From my life; PROKOFIEV: Violin Concerto No 1 in D Op 19; DVORÁK: Symphony No 7 in D minor Op 70 (recorded in the Royal Albert Hall, London by BBC) (Programme 6 tomorrow night at 8.00pm)
