Their discography is a reflection of this versatility, highlighted by recent releases such as "Joachim Raff: Welt-Ende · Gericht · Neue Welt," which showcases their prowess in rendering complex choral symphonies, and "Singt und klingt! (Weihnachten im Gewandhaus)," a festive collection that captures the spirit of Christmas through a blend of traditional and modern carols.
