Mahler Symphony No. 2 Finale - Sunhae Im, Okka von der Damerau, Zubin Mehta (Verbier Festival 2015) 

Maestro Zubin Mehta was 79 years old at the time of this performance in 2015. Born in Bombay on 29th April, 1936, in a Parsee family with Mr. Mehli Mehta, his father , himself an eminent conductor; founder of Bombay Symphony Orchestra. I am really blessed and proud to have such a virtuoso conductor . He has always shown a remarkable prowess, inginuity and great talent in conducting repertoire of few of the techically very difficult composers viz. Giuseppe Verdi, Gioachhino Puccini, Gustav Mahler, to name a few. He is " aparo"( means Our) Zubin. He retired from conducting in 2019 @ the age 83 with performance of probably Puccini's Turandot or Symphony of Mahler with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, which is their on RU-vid under the title " Last 3 minutes of Maestro Mehta conducting".

I agree. I cut my classical teeth on Bernstein's collection of all 9 Mahler symphonies on vinyl, and I guess I can't let go of his timing.

His best Mahler 2 could be the 1974 recording with Wiener philharmonic,even that was bit rushed at times

Tempi were perfect. No phony exaggerations.
