Vadim Repin plays James MacMillan’s Violin Concerto with Donald Runnicles and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Threaded with reels and old laments, MacMillan’s work complements the concentrated dramas of Beethoven’s ‘Coriolan’ Overture and Fifth Symphony.

Mitsuko Uchida plays Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and its Chief Conductor, Mariss Jansons. The opium-fuelled idylls and nightmares of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique complete one of the festival’s hottest programmes.

Hail, ice, thunder, rain … and the bark of a dog on a sunny afternoon. Iconoclastic violinist Nigel Kennedy plays Vivaldi’s endlessly fascinating set of concertos, The Four Seasons, in a Late Night Prom with players from Palestine and Poland.

A late-night feast of sinfonias, arias and chorales as Sir John Eliot Gardiner, 70 this year, conducts the singers and players of the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists in Bach’s Easter Oratorio and Ascension Oratorio.

Broadcast live on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 1Xtra and BBC Radio 3, Jules Buckley leads the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a collision of Fazer, Henze, Laura Mvula, Mosolov and Maverick Sabre, with guest artists from the worlds of urban and contemporary classical music.

Vasily Petrenko conducts the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and young singers from across the British Isles in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Vaughan Williams’s Walt Whitman setting Towards the Unknown Region and the world premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage’s Frieze.

The Fanfare No. 5 from Tippett’s The Mask of Time opens tonight's survey of 20th-century greats with the London Symphony Orchestra and Ian Bostridge, from Tippett’s Concerto for Double String Orchestra and Britten’s Les illuminations to Elgar’s Second Symphony.

Anna Caterina Antonacci sings Wagner’s Wesendonck-Lieder with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Rotterdam Philharmonic, a mini Tristan and Isolde. Tchaikovsky’s fantasy-overture Romeo and Juliet and the bright colours of Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony form a strong contrast.

The pan-European Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester returns to the BBC Proms with conductor Philippe Jordan and pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet in a programme of Wagner’s overture to Rienzi, Ravel’s jazz-inflected Piano Concerto in G major and Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony.

The John Wilson Orchestra returns to the BBC Proms with a programme of Golden Age film music from Edward Newman’s ‘Street Scene’ (from How to Marry a Millionnaire) to Erich Korngold’s swashbuckling suite from Robin Hood and Franz Waxman’s A Place in the Sun.

Keith Lockhart conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra in Addinsell’s Warsaw Concerto and music by Walton (Battle of Britain), William Alwyn (The True Glory), Leighton Lucas (Ice Cold in Alex) and Richard Rodney Bennett (Lady Caroline Lamb), and a second half filled with the Hollywood superheroes and space travellers.
