Symphonie Fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin & Rolf Reuter

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed and first performed in 1830. The five-movement work uses varied orchestral forces, distinctive instrumental effects and a recurring idée fixe to unify a narrative across movements, and is an early example of Romantic programme music that advanced Berlioz's exploration of orchestral colour and narrative form.
First released: 2006
