The Indian born conductor Zubin Mehta began his career in the early 1960's. He was appointed music director to Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1962 and held the position until 1978. This is considered his golden era, when his energetic, powerful interpretations won him critical acclaim. His style is especially suited for the late romantic and early 20th century repertoire such as Mahler, R. Strauss, and such. During this time he signed recording contract with Decca/London, whose excellent engineering team made frequent flights to Los Angeles and discovered a sonically perfect venue in UCLA's Royce Hall. The entire series is nothing but spectacular!

Not a common title, too bad Mehta didn't record more of the Liszt symphonic poems.

Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!
