About

Conductor Zubin Mehta and his Israel Philharmonic Orchestra perform two great Beethoven symphonies, Nos. 5 & 6 “Pastoral”, in live recordings from Tel Aviv in 2009. As an intermezzo between the two symphonies, the titanic Prometheus Overture has been included.

Born in Bombay, India, Zubin Mehta grew up in a musical environment. He has rapidly become one of the world’s most sought after orchestral and operatic conductors. The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra appointed Mr. Mehta Music as advisor in 1969, Music Director in 1977, and Music Director for Life in 1981. Combining concerts, recordings and tours, Zubin Mehta has conducted thousands of performances on five continents with the IPO.

“What a pleasant surprise …. this is certainly a beautiful performance... Mehta leads the orchestra into an excellent performance - warm, flowing with serenity and charm. The recording was made during several live performances in Tel Aviv last July, and the quality is very good.” - Omer Shomroni, Globes newspaper
