My mind and heart had not even
quieted down from Yanni's concert when I
found out the Munich Phylharmonic conducted by Zubin Mehta would be
held at Ibirapuera park . There was I again
on the rithm of the musician's instruments to enjoy such breathtaking time!
Unlike Yanni's concert, it was an outdoor spectacle, in harmony with a gloomy weather and in fact, warm for the contagious music which surely
might have called in Saint Peter to award us with a rain break.
The crowd was awfully small for a show of this scale but enough to applaud bright names like Zubin Mehta, the conductor, and the japenese violonist Mayuko Kamio.
Below a video from a a live concert in Siena , Italy, cheered by a distinguished audience. It is BELLO!!! I wish I had been there!
Zubin Mehta was born into a
Parsi family in
Mumbai, India, the son of Mehli and Tehmina Mehta. His father Mehli Mehta was
a violinist and founding conductor of the Bombay Symphony Orchestra. Mehta is an alumnus of St. Mary's (ISC) High School, Mazagaon, Mumbai and St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. Zubin initially intended to study medicine, but eventually became a music student in Vienna at the age of 18, under Hans Swarowsky. Also at the same academy along with Zubin were conductor Claudio Abbado and conductor–pianist Daniel Barenboim. Mehta's first marriage was to Canadian soprano Carmen Lasky in 1958. They have a son, Mervon and a daughter, Zarina. In 1964, they divorced. [1] Two years after the divorce, Carmen married Zubin's brother, Zarin Mehta, now the Executive Director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. In July 1969, Mehta married Nancy Kovack, a former American film and television actress. [2]Mehta is a permanent resident of the United States, but retains his Indian citizenship
