Planning for this year's Proms is no doubt well under way, but hopefully, in the year of 75th anniversaries, room will be found for Alfred Schnittke's precocious magnum opus, the oratorio Nagasaki. If we are not already at war by the summer, it will if nothing else serve as a reminder of why 1945 was the last time atomic weapons were used in warfare.
