Symphonie fantastique

Album by Hector Berlioz & The Cleveland Orchestra & Lorin Maazel

Symphonie fantastique is a programme symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed and first performed in 1830. The work features expansive and often innovative orchestration, dramatic contrasts and a recurring thematic idée fixe to portray a narrative across five movements, and it is an early and influential example of programme music that helped shape Romantic-era orchestral practice.
