Gustav Mahler Symphony No.10 in F sharp major [Edited by Deryck Cooke, Faber Music, 1976] Orchestre Métropolitain Yannick Nézet-Séguin, conductor ACD2 2711 • ATMA Classique presents Mahler's Symphony No.10 with the Orchestre Métropolitain under the baton of international superstar conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin.   Made in the exceptional acoustics of La Maison symphonique in Montréal, this marks the first CD recording of Mahler's Symphony No.10 by a Canadian orchestra. • When Mahler died, only the first movement of the Symphony No.10 was completely finished and orchestrated.   Musicologist Deryck Cooke subsequently made a performing version of the unfinished draft left by the composer.   According to Cooke, had Mahler completed the orchestration, he would have probably made endless changes to the score until he was completely satisfied.   Symphony No.10 remains a masterpiece, a legacy of inestimable value. • Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Orchestre Métropolitain since 2000, Yannick Nézet-Séguin is among the most sought after conductors in the world.   Also Music Director of the prestigious Philadelphia Orchestra since September 2012 and Music Director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra since 2008, his personal approach to music, his respect towards the musicians and the public, his loyalty, his generosity as well as his charismatic personality have made him a favourite. • Founded in Montreal in 1981 by some of the finest music graduates from Québec conservatories and music faculties, the Orchestre Métropolitain now numbers about 60 professional musicians.   From the very outset, the Orchestre Métropolitain adopted an approach that focused on broadening audiences for classical music Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) Symphony No. 10 F sharp major 1.
