Charles Münch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra present a captivating rendition of Hector Berlioz's iconic "Symphonie Fantastique," set to release on March 24, 2025, via Finrow Records. This classical masterpiece, composed by the young and passionate Berlioz at the age of 26, is a seminal work in the orchestral repertoire, offering a vivid and dramatic exploration of love, obsession, and the supernatural.

From the introspective "Reveries and Passions" to the lively "A Ball," the pastoral "Scenes in the Country," the dramatic "March to the Scaffold," and the haunting "Dream of a Witches' Sabbath," Münch's interpretation brings out the full emotional depth and orchestral richness of Berlioz's vision. The recording, lasting 42 minutes, is a testament to Münch's renowned expertise in Berlioz's music, making it a historically significant addition to any classical music collection.
