Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & Orchestre symphonique de Montréal & Charles Dutoit

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1830. The work exemplifies early Romantic orchestration with bold brass and woodwind writing, novel orchestral colours, dramatic contrasts and a recurring melodic idée fixe that unifies its movements, and it established Berlioz's reputation while influencing later Romantic orchestral practice.
