    Thank you, Mr. Lebrecht, for removing the offensive (idiotic?) content initially posted under this notice. We wish Maestro Mehta the very best!

  • Zvi says:

    Mehta’s Salome with the IPO some 20 years ago was overwhelming. Wish him full and speedy recovery. Such a dear man!

  • Ms.Melody says:

    Best wishes and prayers for Maestro ‘s speedy recovery.

  • Sue Sonata Form says:

    It is good that he has taken the initiative after feeling unwell. We need to listen to our own brains as we know when something isn’t right with our bodies. I said this recently to an Emergency doctor after my own admission and he replied, “yes, but your brain often gets it wrong!”

    Go figure.

  • Refuah Shleima Maestro! Keep well and safe!

    I always feel uncomfortable during Salome rehearsals. Doesn’t everyone?

  • Roscoe says:

    I have always had an admiration for him and the talent he possessed and his true passion in communication of the music he conducted. I send my positive thoughts and energy to his healing in good health.

  • Stay with us, Zubin. You are a precious part of many lives.
