It was personal. I decided to go buy tickets to see Zubin Mehta and the Philharmonic Orchestra of Israel and got rather crossed when I saw on the ticket the name of some other director. Pure stupidity - Mehta is the ARTISTIC director. So what's the big deal?
Zubin Mehta is a living legend. Classical music, for those uneducated earthlings like me, is a matter of feeling the notes, and by listening so much, you get to catch violins out of tempo, or different speeds of interpretation. So I've heard Mehta since the performance at Caracalla's Baths (Guinness Record for most copies sold of a classical music CD) and would love to see how that passion fills up a room.
Will report back.
