Zubin Mehta first conducted the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in 1961, substituting for Eugene Ormandy, and became its Music Director in 1969. (The Orchestra was founded the year Mehta was born.) One of the great musical partnerships of our time, Mehta and the IPO have a huge discography, which includes a characteristically robust live account of Brahms’ First Symphony from 2009.
