	THE DEATH OF THE HORENSTEIN CULT?
		In the case of conductor Jascha Horenstein, the ingredients for cult designation include his inability to hold down a regular job, comparative neglect during his lifetime, his promotion of Gustav Mahler (who turned out to be the biggest cult composer of the 20th century), and the wildly variable quality of his surviving recorded legacy.
		The Horenstein cult, which is not large, but which regularly pops up in internet chat groups-- especially those devoted to Mahler--has thus found a perfect object of veneration, because so much of his surviving work is simply dreadful by any standard.
		In terms of what was readily available, Horenstein was indeed a contender, and in the minds of some he remains one, despite the clearly audible evidence that his interpretation is not particularly outstanding, and has been surpassed both interpretively and sonically dozens of times over.

	Jascha Horenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jascha Horenstein (May 6, 1898 - April 2, 1973) was a conductor.
		Horenstein was born in Kiev; his mother was Austrian.
		Horenstein is particularly remembered for championing modern music (in 1929 he conducted the premiere of the arrangement for strings of three movements of Alban Berg's Lyric Suite), and for his advocacy of the works of Anton Bruckner and Gustav Mahler at a time when both composers were very unfashionable.

		Jascha Horenstein was born in Kiev on May 6, 1898.
		He conducted the Bluthner Concerts in Berlin in 1924, a series with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1926 and in 1928 he became chief conductor and later General Musical Director of the Dusseldorf opera.
		Horenstein, by both training and temperament, seemed in many ways to be a German conductor rather than a native born Russian.

		One of the main attributes of Jascha Horenstein's period in Düsseldorf was the attention paid to modern opera.
		In addition, Horenstein's presence was overshadowed by that of his soloists, the popular young Nathan Milstein, and especially Josef Hoffman, who used the occasion to pay an emotional homage to his recently deceased friend and master Sergei Rachmaninoff.
		Horenstein's next important engagement was a 10 week series of concerts in Venezuela, where the local radio and the Orquesta Sinfonica Venezuela had organised a Festival of Latin American Music, which also included works by Samuel Barber, Charles Ives, Aaron Copland and Roy Harris in addition to all the important South American composers.

		Joel Lazar tells us that Horenstein was so determined that things should be right that he proposed to the BBC that he should take additional (and presumably unpaid) piano rehearsals both with the soloists and with the chorus.
		Horenstein reaches ‘Et incarnatus est’ at 5’33” whereas Bernstein arrives at the same point at 4’08” That said, once I’d listened a few times I thought I could appreciate what Horenstein is up to.
		Horenstein achieves a hushed intensity at the start of the Sanctus while the Benedictus, graced by a sweet-toned violin solo from the orchestra’s, uncredited, leader, is very well done.

	SoundStage! Jascha Horenstein - Mahler
		On March 20, 1959, a cold, wet, Friday evening, Jascha Horenstein walked onto the stage of the Royal Albert Hall in London to face what he described as "the biggest artistic challenge of my career." Horenstein was about to conduct, for the first (and, as it turned out, only) time in his life, Mahler's Eighth.
		Not only was this the first time Horenstein had conducted the work, but the schedule for the hall was so congested that he hadn't even been able to conduct the dress rehearsal in the actual venue itself.
		Moreover, Horenstein finds great lyricism in Part I (just listen to some of the phrasing!), lyricism missed by many other performances where the conductor concentrates on the undoubted excitement and sheer physicality of the sound produced by the massed forces.

		Horenstein recorded Mahler's Ninth several times, and this is the finest performance in stereo of the lot.
		Horenstein seems to have tested the darkness of his reading against a wealth of personal and historical experience, so that there is nothing merely rhetorical about it, ever.

		Horenstein's commercial recordings break down into four main areas: German recordings 1928-29, those made for Vox in the 1950s, those made in the '60s by RCA for Readers Digest (glories of the gramophone, produced by Charles Gerhardt and engineered by Kenneth Wilkinson), and for Unicorn from 1969.
		Vox promised in early 1998 that they would reissue the rest of the Horenstein in their vaults in that year: the first four in a new series of 11 CDs were issued in Japan in late 1999 and in the west in 2000 and everything seemed to be on CD by the end of 2002.
		This historic performance broadcast by the BBC from the Albert Hall, with Janet Baker, Helen Watts, several choruses etc. and theLondon Symphony Orchestra, electrified London in 1959 and is thought to be the beginning of the subsequent revival of Mahler's music.

	Gramophone - Features - The world's best classical music magazine
		Horenstein lived a wanderer's existence but, despite having no orchestra of his own, forged a name as a towering interpreter of Bruckner and Mahler.
		Jascha Horenstein’s reputation in Great Britain and the United States mostly rests on two quite different things: his many public performances in the UK — from the late ’50s until his death in 1973 — and, in the US, a recording career launched on the strength of his first Vox discs in 1952.
		Horenstein’s comprehensive repertoire emerged in microcosm over the course of those releases: Mahler and Bruckner, for which he later became most famous, Schoenberg, Bartók, Janácek, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and, of course, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms and Bach.

		HOrenstein is a great musician, but he was stuck in the Vox years with dismal orchestra and very poor mono sound.
		Horenstein's August 29, 1969 Prom performance of Mahler's seventh symphony is one of the classic performances of this enigmatic work, and needs no further argument for Mahlerites.

	INKPOT#74 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: MAHLER Symphony No.8. Various/LSO/Horenstein (BBC Legends)
		Horenstein is never tempted to make an opera out of the first movement, but he handles the orchestral interludes as they are interludes, not changing the tempi excessively.
		In "Infirma" Horenstein (right) shows his natural command of line, and ebb and flow of singing is very charming. The great "Accende lumen sensibus" theme is worked up to, and then carried off amazingly - imagine more than 700 players coming simultaneously on the note, and the effect is truly astonishing.
		Horenstein starts the next movement a little faster than conductors now would take it - in fact, a little closer to Adagio ma non troppo than poco adagio (the direction on the score).
