Zubin Mehta killed the First Symphony for me. He conducted the EU Youth Orchestra in London around 1989, and had me in tears in the third movement. I've heard it many times since then, and I can only enjoy it out of curiosity, but I'll never again experience what that orchestra and conductor gave me then in that performance. Mehta is a very electric conductor to watch. The closest I've seen live is Gustavo Dudamel.
Speaking of the 1st Symphony, 3rd movement, at 1:26 , I have to say that Mehta's recording of this with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra is the best I've heard.
You can find a copy of the etching of the animals carrying the hunter on line. What Zubi says about Columbia Records and the recording of Mahler 9 with Walter. Very interesting, everything he goes into.😊
Riveting interview and to think that this talented Parsi conductor has met Walter, amazing. I first heard Mahler 2 by Mehta on the Decca label and was bowled over by this interpretation. Maestro should come to Kuala Lumpur and conduct the MPO.
Wonderful interview with greatest Maestro! Very deep and enlightening ❤
These many UE Mahler interviews are fascinating beyond description!

Hearing Mehta with or without a baton is always enlightening.
I find Mahler's music as absolutely Heavenly!!!
Zubin Mehta has such a commanding look when he is conducting. He is an absolute pleasure to watch !
Very wonderful details. Thanks for sharing.

After hearing the last thing Zubin Mehta says here, I would say Alma fully deserved all the backlash she got over the years.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I love that story!

His speaking is like listening to Mahler's music itself.
