Legendary Israel Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta announced that
he will retire as musical director in 2019. There is no doubt that Mehta
transformed the Israel Philharmonic into one of the world’s leading orchestras.
This documentary, a cinematic portrait of Mehta, tells the story of a musician
who was born and raised in India, and went to Vienna to study music at age 18.
At 25 he began conducting the Israel Philharmonic. The bond between him and that
orchestra continued to strengthen until, in 1981, Mehta
was appointed its musical director for life. Mehta also conducts other
orchestras around the world, and this film follows him as he travels. His life
comes across as the embodiment of the dream of the global village — a village
in which music unites diverse people and creates wonderful opportunities for
collaboration and friendship.
