Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & Detroit Symphony Orchestra & Paul Paray

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed and premiered in 1830. Characterised by vivid orchestration, dramatic thematic transformations and a programme-driven narrative, it exemplifies early Romantic orchestral writing and marked a pivotal development in Berlioz's exploration of programme music that influenced later nineteenth-century orchestral practice.
