Capella Istropolitana is a distinguished chamber orchestra hailing from Bratislava, Slovakia. Founded in 1983, the ensemble quickly established itself within the classical music arena through its exceptional performances and recordings. The group's name, 'Istropolitana,' pays homage to the ancient Latin name for the city of Bratislava, reflecting the ensemble's deep cultural roots and pride in its regional heritage.

Specializing in Baroque and Classical repertoire, Capella Istropolitana's ever-growing discography demonstrates their versatile talent and dedication to the genre. The orchestra has focused on making classical music accessible and enjoyable to a wide audience, which is exemplified in their recent series of thematic releases. From "Mozart For Sleep" and "Beethoven For Relaxation" to more focused compilations such as "Vivaldi For Study" and "Bach For Study," their recordings provide a serene soundtrack tailored to various activities and moods. These collections highlight the ensemble's ability to curate and perform music that not only exhibits technical excellence but also serves the practical purpose of enhancing the listener's experience, whether it be for relaxation, inspiration, or contemplation. Their interpretative finesse is not only apparent in these themed compilations but also in their committed performances of complete works such as "Beethoven: The Piano Concertos" and "Bach: Air on the G String – Orchestral Suites" which further attest to their breadth and depth as interpreters of the great classical masters.
