Symphony in D minor / Le Chasseur maudit

Symphony in D minor and Le Chasseur maudit are orchestral works by César Franck, composed in 1888 and 1883 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Franck's late-Romantic harmonic language and sense of cyclic unity, employing rich chromaticism, dense orchestration and recurring thematic material; the symphony represents his major contribution to the French symphonic repertoire while the programme-driven tone poem explores narrative and vivid orchestral colour.
