7.45* Mahler Das Lied von der Erde
'Some 15 years ago Horenstein conducted the Ninth Symphony of Mahler in the Royal Festival Hall. I had not seen him before this occasion. So deeply was I moved by his conducting that I departed from a lifetime’s habit and principle – I went round to the artists’ room and congratulated him. I came to know him as a friend, a true friend, kind and wise. Beneath his gentleness was an uncompromising intelligence and aesthetic integrity.
His labours of love for Parsifal at Covent Garden proved too much for an already weakened heart. But it was a good way to go, a good farewell of a rare spirit.'
(From Sir Neville Cardus's tribute to Horenstein in the Guardian)

A gigolo cuts his foot on broken glass. Taking the image of the ever-renewing sea, Cuban writer Severo Sarduy develops sequences which transform and distort this simple incident and provide an insight into the two characters, whose several voices act as our guides through the world of myths.
