After reading this 2 year old article by David Hurwitz, I started wondering if maybe he wasn't onto something. Mehta seems to have sort of faded away, yet in the 70s (pre NYPhil) he made a number of recordings that still get people excited. I kind of thought maybe he was washed up (didn't really know he was still recording).He hasnt recorded Mahler 9, or any of the Rach symphonies.... wonder how they might be now, if he recorded them with a top orchestra?
