Part of the BBC Proms. Charles Dutoit, noted interpreter of French music, begins with the Parisian memories of an Englishman abroad: anniversary composer Frederick Delius was particularly fond of the city and his unfairly neglected nocturne for orchestra has not been heard here since 1984. Benjamin Grosvenor, who hit the headlines in 2004, aged 11, when he won the keyboard final of BBC Young Musician of the Year, made sensational Proms debut appearances last year. He returns in a Gallic concerto for which he has a special affinity. Finally to St Petersburg for Tchaikovsky's rousing but equivocal triumph. Finish time approx. 21:15
