Zubin Mehta returns to the Palau de la Música Catalana, and each of his visits is an event. The maestro, a living legend of conducting, leads the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra in a programme that celebrates the beauty and fullness of the symphonic repertoire. Beethoven's Eighth Symphony is a short, energetic, and humorous work that blends a classical style with a playful and surprisingly light spirit within his mature creative period. In the second half, Schubert’s Symphony No. 9, The Great, reveals all its grandeur, with sweeping melodies and irresistible rhythmic energy. An extraordinary evening with one of the most charismatic and beloved conductors of our time.
