Mariss Jansons conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Haydn and Shostakovich.

Mariss Jansons and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra perform Haydn's Symphony No 100 (Military), and Shostakovich's popular Symphony No 10 at the 2009 Proms.

Presented by Ian Skelly.

In a concert given at the 2009 Proms, Mariss Jansons and his Dutch orchestra perform Haydn's Military Symphony, composed on a visit to London in 1794-5, at a time when England and Holland were allied with Austria against Republican France. According to an early review, the slow movement - graphically portraying 'the hellish roar of war increase to a climax of horrid sublimity' - was greeted with repeated cries of 'Encore! in which the Ladies themselves could not forbear to join'.

Shostakovich's Tenth - one of the composer's most popular symphonies, and a favourite of Jansons and the orchestra - intertwines the composer's personal motto theme with that of a student with whom he was infatuated.
