In January 1961, a glamorous 24-year-old Zubin Mehta, who was already taking classical music by storm, made his West Coast debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Now, 59 years later, as conductor emeritus of the L.A. Phil, Mehta has done it again.

Its tiny wisps of melody, minimal sound effects and harmony more implied than revealed stirred surprisingly large and lasting emotions.stayed, they might have been engrossed.

Mahler’s symphony, known as the “Resurrection,” sounded as if it were Mehta’s own resurrection from ill health when heas part of the L.A. Phil’s gala 100th birthday weekend, and it spectacularly did so again at the Sunday matinee performance I heard.
