About this artist
Florent Schmitt (born 28 September 1870 in Blâmont, France, died 17 August 1958 in Neuilly-sur-Seine) is one of the most fascinating of France’s lesser-known classical composers. Born in the small town of Blâmont (Meurthe-et-Moselle, Lorraine) — a community practically within sight of the newly-drawn, post-Franco-Prussian War boundary between France and Germany — Schmitt’s German surname belied the fact that he was a French musician through and through.
