Zubin Mehta: Zubin Mehta Edition CD Box Set
Maestro Zubin Mehta celebrates his 90th birthday on 29 April 2026. For much of the 1960s and 70s an exclusive Decca artist, he forged a remarkable recorded legacy that bridged Central European tradition and American dynamism. His performances combined interpretative insight with electrifying energy, captured in recordings renowned for their brilliance and sonic splendour.
Spanning repertoire from Mozart to Mahler, this comprehensive box set gathers Mehta’s Decca and Deutsche Grammophon recordings over nearly 50 years from 1965 to 2013. Arranged alphabetically by composer and supplemented by thematic collections, it reflects two of his principal artistic homes – Israel and Vienna – while also showcasing landmark collaborations in Berlin, London, Florence, and New York. The Mehta/Decca story began in Vienna in 1965, when, just days after his 26th birthday, he recorded a Bruckner Ninth Symphony that remains a touchstone of the catalogue.
