Symphony Fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & London Symphony Orchestra & Carlos Païta

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed and first performed in 1830. The five-movement work employs innovative orchestration, a recurring idée fixe motif representing the artist's obsession, and vivid programme-driven scenes that helped establish Berlioz's reputation and influenced later Romantic orchestral writing.
