Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & Orchestre national de Lyon & Leonard Slatkin

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, premiered in 1830. Scored for a large Romantic orchestra, it uses vivid orchestration, recurring motifs and dramatic programme elements to depict an extended narrative, signalling a new approach to orchestral colour and programme music in Berlioz's career and in 19th-century music.
