Izraelská filharmonie, Zubin Mehta by Mahler, Aπό (2019/2019), αγωγός Zubin Mehta, Rudolfinum, Prague, Czech Republic

One of the expected highlights of this year's Dvořák Prague is undoubtedly the Israel Philharmonic concert. The ensemble, which has long been considered one of the best orchestras in the world, will perform under the baton of its lifelong artistic director and chief conductor, the living conducting legend Zubin Mehta, who has been at the helm of this ensemble for an incredible 50 years. The program they chose for their Prague concert can also be described as extremely representative: Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 3 is probably the most extensive work of the standard symphonic repertoire. Japanese mezzo-soprano Mihoko Fujimura and two top vocal ensembles - the Prague Philharmonic Choir and the Kühn Children's Choir - will also participate in the performance of this impressive musical colossus. The combination of Mahler's brilliant score with interpretation at the highest level promises a powerful listening experience.
