Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14

Album by Hector Berlioz & Orchestre national de France & André Vandernoot

Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14 is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, completed and first performed in 1830. The five-movement work exemplifies Romantic-era orchestration, employing a recurring idée fixe to represent a central obsession and deploying inventive orchestral colour and formal experimentation that played a key role in establishing Berlioz's reputation in nineteenth-century music.
