The Philharmonic Edition
Zubin Mehta
Zubin Mehta’s The Philharmonic Edition is a 57-CD career anthology that gathers nearly five decades of recordings made for Decca and Deutsche Grammophon between 1965 and 2013. It documents Mehta’s work with several leading ensembles, including the Vienna Philharmonic, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, and Florence’s Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. Covering repertoire from Mozart to Mahler, the set presents Mehta as a conductor associated with expansive orchestral sound, dramatic control, and an international career rooted in the great philharmonic tradition.
The collection includes complete Schubert symphonies with the Israel Philharmonic and Schumann symphonies with the Vienna Philharmonic, as well as major works by Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Dvořák, Mahler, Richard Strauss, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, and Wagner. It also extends beyond orchestral repertory with concertos, vocal works, and four significant opera recordings: Puccini’s Turandot and La fanciulla del West, plus Verdi’s Il trovatore and La traviata. More archival library than conventional album, The Philharmonic Edition offers a broad, richly varied portrait of Mehta’s versatility and his enduring relationships with major international orchestras.
