Symphonie fantastique / Lélio

Album by Hector Berlioz & San Francisco Symphony & San Francisco Symphony Chorus & Michael Tilson Thomas

Symphonie fantastique / Lélio is an album collecting Hector Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique and the complementary dramatic work Lélio, composed in 1830 and 1831–1832 respectively. Musically the works exemplify programme Romanticism, combining vivid orchestration, unconventional instrumental colours and, in Lélio, a mixture of spoken declamation and vocal writing, and they occupy a central place in Berlioz's development and in the expansion of nineteenth-century orchestral and theatrical forms.
