Linton Stephens introduces a week of highlights from the BBC Proms, including, today, Beethoven's Symphony No.7 from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel, and Haydn's Nelson Mass, performed by the Choir & Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Also in today's programme, we visit the Edinburgh international Festival for performances by mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor and pianist Hamish Brown, and brass music from The Wallace Collection.
