Staatskapelle Berlin is one of the oldest orchestras in existence with its roots dating back to 1570. This distinguished ensemble has become an emblem of German musical culture, particularly known for its warm, rich sound and its interpretation of German and Austrian classical repertoire. Throughout its storied history, Staatskapelle Berlin has been led by a series of distinguished conductors, including Richard Strauss, Herbert von Karajan, and Daniel Barenboim, who currently guides the orchestra as its conductor and artistic director.

The orchestra's discography reveals a deep dedication to both traditional and contemporary classical works, as evidenced by their varied recent releases. With performances ranging from Max Fiedler's interpretations of Brahms' symphonies to their historically informed "Legendary Eterna Recordings," Staatskapelle Berlin navigates effortlessly through the annals of music history. Their recordings include dynamic renditions of Schumann's complete symphonies, explorations of Dvořák’s lush New World Symphony, and the sophisticated operatic nuances of Mozart's "Così fan tutte." Staatskapelle Berlin's ability to offer fresh insight into both widely celebrated and less familiar works ensures their enduring reputation as a leading global orchestra.
