Symphonies by Haydn and Vaughan Williams offer two contrasting musical portraits of London. Boisterous urban energy pulses through Haydn’s final Symphony, No. 104, while Vaughan Williams shows us the city in more contemplative mood.

Following on from the Hallé’s Paris-inspired programme (Prom 16) comes a corresponding focus on London.

Andrew Manze and the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Scottish Symphony Orchestra open with Haydn’s lively, assertive final symphony – composed and first performed in London during the composer’s second triumphant residency.

First performed in March 1914, Vaughan Williams’s A London Symphony evokes the chimes of Westminster, a chilly November in Bloomsbury and the bright lights of the Strand in a city that would soon be scarred by war.
