Zubin Mehta: A World Full of Music offers a portrait of one of the most recognisable conductors of the late twentieth century. In a relaxed interview at his home in Los Angeles, Mehta reflects on his career, his relationships with orchestras and singers, and the particular demands of a profession he has described as "mystical". These conversations are interwoven with rehearsal footage and performance excerpts, offering insight into his working methods and his rapport with musicians. Rather than a chronological biography, the film presents a personal view of music-making, shaped by experience, curiosity and an enduring sense of engagement.
