Symphonie Fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & The Cleveland Orchestra & Lorin Maazel

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, first performed in 1830. The work employs expansive Romantic-era orchestration, dramatic contrasts, programme-driven thematic transformation and adventurous harmonic colour to portray a continuous narrative, and it occupies an early place in Berlioz's career while contributing to developments in nineteenth-century orchestral practice.
