Covid traps Zubin in Israel
NewsThe former Israel Philharmonic music director Zubin Mehta has been giving his first round of concerts since being succeeded by Lahav Shani in October 2019. The public have been thrilled to have him back.
His last concert was scheduled for tonight – Beethoven and Dvorak – before catching a flight home to Los Angeles.
This morning, however, he tested positive for Covid.
The concert was cancelled and Zubin is grounded.
Promp recovery for the great maestro Mehta
get well soon
I attended ZM’s recent Bruckner 9 preceded by Beethoven pc no. 2 with Argerich and Tosca with the IPO. Both ZM and the orchestra were in top form. These were outstanding concerts of superb playing and phenomenal interpretations.
As he should be. He is contagious and could harm not only himself but others.
Good health and good luck, Maestro Zubin.
