Rich in tradition and regarded as the world's oldest orchestra - its roots lying in the 16th century - the Dresden Staatskapelle perform in the second of their two Proms conducted by the celebrated Bernard Haitink.

The programme from the Royal Albert Hall features renditions of Dvorak's darkly dramatic Seventh Symphony and one of Haydn's Paris symphonies. Also featured is Bartok's Dance Suite, a piece composed to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of Budapest.

During the interval, Stephanie Hughes talks to guests and some of the musicians taking part.
