The
chamber orchestra Cappella Istropolitana was founded in 1983. Its
members share their pleasure of making music and their enthusiasm to
play together in a small ensemble. Most of the musicians are well-known
soloists. Famous conductors and interpreters work with the orchestra.
Their way of playing is featured by great technical
skill, a high level sound and enormous interpreting discipline as well
as an extraordinary sensitive feeling for style.
The ensemble has become part of the home and foreign
music scene. They have performed in nearly all European countries, USA,
Canada, Japan, Korea, China, Macao and Hong Kong. The comprehensive
repertoire includes German and Italian baroque works, classical,
romantic music and compositions of the 20th century as well.
Besides concert events Cappella Istropolitana is also
successfully engaged in producing CD and television recordings. Up to
now 80 CDs have been issued, all of superior artistic value, which is
proved by high sales figures world-wide: the orchestra already received
two platinum discs.
Paying tribute to their outstanding artistic
facilities in 1991 the City Council of Bratislava appointed the
orchestra "Chamber Orchestra of the City of Bratislava".
