About

A landmark performance, ‘Zubin Mehta Live in front of the Grand Palace’ was the first international standard outdoor western classical concert in Bangkok. The concert was in celebration of Her Majesty the Queen's 80th birthday. The maestro - framed by the beauty of the Grand Palace, especially illuminated for the performance - had the audience spellbound. This DVD captures the magic of those few hours in a setting that echoed the power of the music.

The world’s most sought after conductor, Zubin Mehta is a legendary international orchestral and operatic conductor. Born in Bombay, India, Zubin grew up in a musical environment - his father, Mehli Mehta, had founded the Bombay Symphony. At 18, Zubin attended the Academy of Music in Vienna and seven years later conducted both the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras. Today, at 76, he is still astonishing critics with his sustained virtuosity.

Israel’s leading symphony orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra annually tours the world’s cultural centres and prestigious festivals and has hosted some of the world’s greatest conductors, including Leonard Bernstein who maintained close ties with the orchestra from 1947 onwards. Zubin Mehta has served as the IPO’s Music Advisor since 1968 and in 1977 was appointed its Music Director. In 1981, his title was elevated to Music Director for Life.
