About this track

Berlioz: Symphony Fantastique — Un Bal is a recording of the second movement of Hector Berlioz's groundbreaking 1830 symphony — a full orchestral waltz with string section, woodwinds, brass, harp and timpani sweeping through the ballroom at 175 BPM. By 0:26 the melody has locked into its full whirling momentum, one of the most dramatically propulsive passages in the romantic orchestral repertoire. This is grand romance in motion: all sweep, all forward pressure, entirely irresistible.

Where It Fits

The orchestra establishes its waltz texture immediately; the full dramatic climax builds from 0:26. Purpose-built for period drama ballroom scenes requiring authentic romantic-era sweep, luxury perfume and jewellery commercials, high-end travel productions showcasing Paris or Vienna, royal wedding or coronation documentary underscore, theatrical production and ballet company promotional video, art gallery and museum exhibition films, epic film trailer build-up, and fantasy video game cutscene scoring. Directors reach for this track when only the real Berlioz will do.
