The Dresdner Kammerchor, founded in 1985 by its conductor Hans-Christoph Rademann, is one of the preeminent chamber choirs in Germany. Based in Dresden, the ensemble is known for its pure and homogeneous sound, which enables it to deliver performances that range from the Renaissance to contemporary music. Over the years, Dresdner Kammerchor has established itself as an essential interpreter of German choral music, particularly the works of Heinrich Schütz, as evidenced by their comprehensive recordings of Schütz’s music.

Dresdner Kammerchor’s discography reflects its wide-ranging repertoire and interpretative depth. With releases like "Verdi und Puccini," which highlights the choir's versatility in handling the Romantic Italian repertoire, the sacred late-Romantic work of Puccini, "Messa a 4 voci con orchestra, SC 6: I. Kyrie," and their focused commitment to J.S. Bach with albums like "Bach For Meditation" and "Bach For Relaxation," they show not just expertise in Baroque and early music but also an ability to connect with listeners seeking a more reflective musical experience. Their meticulous attention to detail and historical performance practices are particularly showcased in their exhaustive project "Heinrich Schütz: Die Gesamteinspielung," which thoroughly explores the works of the prominent 17th-century German composer, lending the ensemble a prestigious position within the choral community.
