This was a modest, even self-effacing event with which to celebrate the orchestra’s 90th birthday but room had to be found for the pop proffered later in the evening.

It’s 50 years since (now Sir) Simon Rattle first conducted at the Proms (though his first Royal Albert Hall appearance was a year later, in 1977).

Beautiful. Incredible performance. Though not my favourite of Rachmaninov's work (his third and final symphony), conductor Ryan Wigglesworth certainly brought it to life and made it command attention. There is nothing like live music and that will never be replaced. #BBCProms #Proms
