Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Seiji Ozawa

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1830. The five-movement orchestral work exemplifies early Romantic programme music through vivid orchestration, dramatic contrasts and recurring thematic material, and it occupies a central place in Berlioz's output for its pioneering use of orchestral colour and narrative structure.
