The Swiss Chamber Soloists (SCS) is a renowned and versatile chamber ensemble that has made significant contributions to the classical music scene since its inception. Comprising a collective of highly skilled musicians from Switzerland, the group is known for its dedication to both the core classical chamber repertoire and the championing of contemporary works. The ensemble's members are proficient soloists in their own right, who come together to explore the rich textures and intricate interplay possible within the chamber music format. Their expertise is reflected in their thoughtful and often innovative approach to performance, which is evident in their diverse discography.

The group's recent releases underscore their commitment to a wide range of musical styles. "La musique" and "Xavier Dayer: Chamber Music" showcase their flair for contemporary compositions, while "Cerha: Sextet, Quintet & Trio" highlights their skill in interpreting modern-classical pieces. Their affinity for the classics is evidenced in albums such as "Mozart: Chamber Music with Winds" and their rendition of "Bach, J.S.: Goldberg-Variationen," a string trio version arranged by Dmitry Sitkovetsky. The SCS has also ventured into celebratory and thematic recordings, as in "Swiss Chamber Soloists Edition, Vol. 2: Happy Birthday, Elliot Carter!" where they honored the American composer with stellar performances. Their appreciation and interpretation of Romantic Era music is evident in the album "Schumann: Piano Quintet Op. 44 & Piano Quartet Op. 47," demonstrating the ensemble's agility across various eras and styles, from Baroque to Contemporary.
