Symphonie fantastique, op. 14

Album by Hector Berlioz & London Classical Players & Sir Roger Norrington

Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14 is a programme symphony by the French composer Hector Berlioz, completed and first performed in 1830. The work employs large-scale orchestration, vivid orchestral colour, dramatic contrasts and a recurring idée fixe to create a narrative through purely instrumental means, and it stands as a pivotal early work in Berlioz's career and a defining example of Romantic-era programme music.
