Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique & Sir John Eliot Gardiner

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, premiered in 1830. The work employs expanded orchestration, recurring leitmotifs and vivid programme-driven scenes to create dramatic orchestral colour, and it occupies a significant place in Berlioz's career and in 19th-century orchestral development for its innovations in form and expressive technique.
