In the second concert of their visit to the Proms, the Minnesota Orchestra and Osmo Vanska perform Berg's last completed work alongside Beethoven's final symphony. Violinist Gil Shaham is the soloist in Berg's concerto: a heartfelt tribute to a dead friend, dedicated "To the memory of an angel". For the annual Proms performance of Beethoven's 9th - a work championing the brotherhood of humanity - the orchestra are joined by a line-up of international soloists and the BBC Symphony Chorus. Presented by Penny Gore.
