About this title

Synopsis

Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 226 pages; Description: 226 p., 8 leaves of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Includes index. Subjects: Mehta, Zubin. Conductors (Music) --Biography. Summary: From his American debut in Philadelphia in 1960 at age twenty-four, when even the orchestra stood to applaud his "sensational success"; to a debut at the Metropolitan Opera described as "one of the great event of the year"; to his "Music from Outer Space" concert, when 18,000 screaming fans gave him a ten-minute standing ovation, few conductors since Toscanini and Bernstein have created such excitement. Now, for the first time, Zubin Mehta has allowed the remarkably candid and revealing story of his life to be told. ZUBIN was written by noted music critic Martin Bookspan and Emmy Award-winner Ross Yockey, based on extensive interviews and exclusive access to material never before available.
