Semyon Bychkov conducts the UK premiere of Julian Anderson’s keenly awaited Second Symphony – plus Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances, and a Martinů concerto with the extraordinary Labèque sisters.

Ryan Wigglesworth brings a composer’s ear to Holst’s The Planets, and British baritone Roderick Williams premieres Matthew Kaner’s haunting new commission Pearl – in which an ancient lament unlocks emotions that transcend time.

Elgar’s First Symphony, Vaughan Williams’s Tuba Concerto and a swinging new showpiece from Mark-Anthony Turnage: music that could have been made for the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Symphony Orchestra and its Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo.

Fabien Gabel conducts César Franck’s impassioned Symphony in D minor – a 200th-anniversary tribute, in a concert that also showcases the young Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich in Brahms’s gloriously songful Violin Concerto.

Retro-futurist rockers Public Service Broadcasting perform This New Noise: a joyously eclectic, album-length celebration of 100 years of Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio, told with visuals, soundscapes and a little bit of help from the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Symphony Orchestra.
