It was written in 1874 revised several times throughout 1888 and was premiered in 1881 by Hans Richter in Vienna with great success. On this recording, Nézet-Séguin and Orchestre Métropolitain use the 1936 Haas Edition. • Yannick Nézet-Séguin is one of the most sought after young conductors in the world.
