Jascha Horenstein
The second of two programmes featuring the conductor performing the music of Mahler. Today, a chance to hear again one of his recordings that has long since become a collector's item, plus his reflections on how he came to Mahler's late song-symphony. A lifelong student of Eastern philosophy, Horenstein brings a special authenticity both to this work and to the music of Busoni, whom he knew during his youth. Busoni Suite: Das Brautwahl

Henze based his oratorio on the same story as Gericault's famous painting - the wrecking of the French flagship Medusa during the Napoleonic Wars. Gericault painted his vivid and realistic picture while the story was still topical. Why was this wreck such a source of inspiration to him? And why is it still significant today?
