Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & Orchestre Lamoureux & Igor Markevitch

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed and first performed in 1830. The work features bold Romantic orchestration, dramatic contrasts and vivid programme-driven motifs including the idée fixe, and it played a pivotal role in expanding orchestral colour and narrative technique in Berlioz's career and in early 19th-century symphonic practice.
First released: 1961
