Symphonie fantastique / Capriccio espagnol

Album by Hector Berlioz & Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & Georgian SIMI Festival Orchestra & Jahni Mardjani

Symphonie fantastique / Capriccio espagnol is a classical album of orchestral works by French composer Hector Berlioz, compiling pieces originally composed in 1830 and 1863. It pairs the programme symphony's dramatic Romantic narrative and pioneering use of orchestral colour with the Spanish‑inflected caprice's vivid rhythms and colourful scoring, illustrating Berlioz's development of orchestral technique and his interest in exoticism within his career.
