Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & New York Philharmonic & Zubin Mehta

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, premiered in 1830. Combining vivid orchestral colours, recurrent thematic ideas and an expanded symphonic structure, it exemplifies Romantic-era programme music and represents a key turning point in Berlioz's move towards large-scale, narrative-driven orchestral writing.
First released: 27th August 1996
