Hey, @bkeske -- I saw Mehta and the L.A. Phil several times during my younger days. I saw him lead the LAPO at the Music Center a couple times. I was at the Hollywood Bowl (or was it the Greek?) when Frank Zappa played with the L.A. Phil and dryly said "Hit it Zube" or some such. Zubin was wearing a billowy white shirt so the psychedelic lighting would bounce off of him. The L.A. Phil actually played at my high school one day, several years previously, though I'm certain Zubin wasn't at the podium. |
I really like Mehta. He has his own style; energetic, powerful, and expressive. There are some composer’s works where I may prefer another approach, but when in the mood, I enjoy Zubin’s take on a work, most all the time. And one of my favorite conductors to listen to. The Tchaikovsky’s 6th is a great example. I may prefer a couple of others, but really enjoy Mehta’s approach at times. |
