Symphonie fantastique, op. 14

Album by Hector Berlioz & Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire & Ataúlfo Argenta

Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14 is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1830. It features expansive Romantic orchestration, dramatic contrasts, a large orchestral palette and a recurring musical idée fixe that unifies a narrative programme, and it occupies a central place in early-Romantic explorations of programme music and orchestral colour.
