LA Phil: Mehta Conducts Wagner & More

Highlights from The Twilight of the Gods, followed by early modernist works.

Conductor Zubin Mehta leads an adventurous look at German Romanticism as it develops into the birth of 20th-century music, from the lushness of the full orchestra in Wagner’s final Ring opera to the concentrated brevity of Webern’s nine-instrument concerto. With Christine Goerke, soprano.
