Cappella Coloniensis, WDR Rundfunkchor Köln, Hans-Martin Linde, Georg Fischer, Ulf Björlin, Gabriele Ferro
The Cappella Coloniensis, the oldest ensemble with original instruments in the world, celebrates its 50th anniversary. To mark this occasion, Capriccio publishes a 5-CD edition, thus making the best recordings of the Cappella Coloniensis from the 1980s accessible again. Conducted by Hans-Martin Linde, Georg Fischer, Ulf Björlin and Gabriele Ferro, the orchestra set standards in
the virtuoso interpretation of Baroque and classical orchestra music.
