Under the baton of the international conductor Nézet-Séguin, Orchestre Métropolitan performs the rarely recorded Symphonic Poem La tragédie de Salomé by French composer Florent Schmitt (1870-1958). Originally, the work was a one-hour ballet scored for only 20 musicians. In 1910, Schmitt reduced the length of the work and expanded the orchestration. This shorter version on this CD is the best known.
