Mehta Conducts Israel Philharmonic with Viviane Hagner
Essentially,
the [New York] Philharmonic is just like any other orchestra –
they have the spirit of kids, and if you scratch away a little of
the fatigue and cynicism, out comes a 17-year-old music student
again, full of wonder, exuberance and a tremendous love of music.
– Zubin Mehta
Zubin
Mehta (born April 29, 1936) is an Indian-born conductor of
European classical music.
Zubin
Mehta was born into an aristocratic Indian Parsi family in Bombay
(now Mumbai), India. His father Mehli Mehta was a violinist and
founding conductor of the Bombay Symphony Orchestra. Zubin
initially intended to study medicine, but eventually became a
music student in Vienna at the age of 18, under the eminent
instructor Hans Swarowsky. (Also at the same academy along with
Zubin were conductor Claudio Abbado and Daniel Barenboim.) In
1958, he made his conducting debut in Vienna. The same year he
won the International Conducting Competition in Liverpool and was
appointed assistant conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic
Orchestra.
Mehta
soon rose to the rank of chief conductor when he was made Music
Director of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra in 1960, a post he
held until 1967. Other appointments followed: Musical Director
the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra (1962–1978); the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra (1978–1991), becoming the
longest holder of the latter post. He has conducted the Israel
Philharmonic Orchestra since 1970 and was made its Music Director
for Life in 1981. Additionally since 1998, he has been Music
Director of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich.
In
1990, he conducted the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino
and the Orchestra del Teatro dell'Opera di Roma in the first ever
Three Tenors concert in Rome, joining the tenors again in 1994 at
the Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles. In June 1994, Mehta performed
the Mozart Requiem, along with the members of the Sarajevo
Symphony Orchestra and Chorus at the ruins of Sarajevo's National
Library, in a fund raising concert for the victims of armed
conflict and remembrance of the thousands of people killed in the
Yugoslav wars. On August 29, 1999, he conducted Mahler Symphony
No. 2 (Resurrection), at the vicinity of Buchenwald concentration
camp in the German city of Weimar, with both the Bavarian State
Orchestra and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, sitting
alongside each other.
