The ensemble is celebrated for its versatility, mastering a repertoire that spans from Renaissance polyphony to contemporary works. With their recent releases including masterpieces such as "Weihnachten" and Handel's "Messiah", and diving into the intricate works of Beethoven, Schubert, Caldara, and Monteverdi, Chorus Viennensis has continued to showcase their ability to perform demanding compositions with impeccable skill. Their contribution to classical music is not limited to recordings; they also perform regularly in concerts and liturgical services, adding to the rich cultural tapestry of Vienna's musical scene. Connoisseurs of choral music often praise their interpretation of works by Bruckner and their performances of traditional sacred songs, asserting the choir's pivotal role in keeping the classical choral tradition alive and engaging for modern audiences.
