Interview
Zubin Mehta in conversation with Tobias Möller Zubin Mehta and Murray Perahia with works by Beethoven and Strauss
According to the press, it was a “triumphant return” when Murray Perahia interpreted Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 with the Berliner Philharmoniker, after an eleven-year absence. Here, conductor Zubin Mehta also presented Richard Strauss’s Symphonia domestica: one of the composer’s most unusual works, in which he virtuosically and melodiously portrays his family life – including domestic quarrels and children’s screaming.
