Symphonie fantastique
Album by Hector Berlioz & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Massimo Freccia
Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, premiered in 1830. The work features bold orchestration, dramatic contrasts and a recurring idée fixe across five movements to portray a programme-driven narrative, and it occupies a significant place in the early Romantic orchestral repertoire for its expansion of orchestral colour and programmatic technique.
