Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Charles Munch

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1830. Marked by colourful orchestration, dramatic contrasts and recurring thematic material, it exemplifies early Romantic programme music and played a key role in expanding orchestral technique and expressive scope in Berlioz's career and in 19th-century music history.
