A magnificent performance of Schoenberg’s massive cantata, led by Zubin Mehta, caps a mini festival of the composer’s early works.

The conductor has developed into one of the world’s greatest, as he shows here with the LA Phil.

The orchestra, joined by tenor Andrew Staples, gives its first performances of this rather underrated 1958 song cycle.

The conservatory’s head of conducting studies draws a poised performance from these student musicians.

In a performance at Disney Hall, the pianist and his band champion the legacy of this influential figure in the early history of jazz.

The orchestra, led by Rafael Payare, christens the hall with a performance of Gustav Mahler’s epic Symphony No. 2.

The world premiere of Ortiz’s new concerto for cellist Alisa Weilerstein pairs with Mendelssohn’s music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The LA Phil makes a splendid production out of Saint-Saëns, nicely setting up the concert’s second half of opera excerpts from Carmen.

The young pianist is already a great performer, as he shows in Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto.

The LA Phil is the latest orchestra to air the concerto, which was commissioned from five different composers.
