Save Zubin Mehta Israel, and because its members represent many dif- ferent nationalities, Yiddish is the common language spoken in rehearsals. Mehta first began his rela- tionship with the Israel Philharmonic in 1969 as its first permanent music ad- viser. Their ensuing relation- ship through the 1970s led to Mehta's election in 1981 by the orchestra members as the Music Director for Life. Con- current with his Israel Philharmonic appointment, Mehta is also music director of the New York Philhar- monic and conducts regular- ly at the Vienna State Opera and the Royal Opera at Co- vent Garden. As guest con- ductor, he has led virtually every major orchestra on every continent. Mehta gained worldwide recognition as music director of the Montreal Symphony from 1961 to 1967 and from his appointment in 1962 as music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The latter position made him, at age 26, the youngest music director of a major American orchestra.
