Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Charles Munch

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1830. The five-movement work uses vivid orchestration, extended techniques and a programme-driven narrative to explore Romantic-era expressiveness, and it occupies an important place in Berlioz's output and in the development of nineteenth-century orchestral practice.
