Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Riccardo Muti

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed and premiered in 1830. The five-movement work uses large-scale orchestration, vivid instrumental colours and recurring thematic ideas to depict a narrative, and it occupies a significant place in the development of Romantic-era programme music and orchestral technique.
First released: 1985
