The Salzburger Solisten is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 1957 in Salzburg, Austria. The group was formed by a group of young musicians who were studying at the Mozarteum University of Salzburg. The ensemble was initially called the Salzburger Kammermusikgruppe, but it was later renamed the Salzburger Solisten. The Salzburger Solisten quickly gained a reputation for their exceptional musicianship and their ability to perform a wide range of classical music repertoire. The ensemble's early performances were primarily in Salzburg and other cities in Austria, but they soon began to tour internationally. One of the highlights of the Salzburger Solisten's early career was their performance at the Salzburg Festival in 1961. The ensemble performed Mozart's Serenade No. 10 in B-flat major, K. 361, also known as the "Gran Partita." The performance was a huge success and helped to establish the Salzburger Solisten as one of the premier classical music ensembles in the world. Over the years, the Salzburger Solisten has performed with many of the world's leading classical music artists, including conductors Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein, and Nikolaus Harnoncourt, as well as soloists such as Anne-Sophie Mutter, Yo-Yo Ma, and Itzhak Perlman. The Salzburger Solisten has also recorded extensively, with over 100 recordings to their name. Their recordings have received numerous awards and accolades, including the Grand Prix du Disque, the Diapason d'Or, and the Grammy Award. One of the Salzburger Solisten's most notable recordings is their 1984 recording of Mozart's Serenade No. 13 in G major, K. 525, also known as "Eine kleine Nachtmusik." The recording has become one of the best-selling classical music recordings of all time and has helped to introduce classical music to a wider audience. In addition to their performances and recordings, the Salzburger Solisten has also been involved in music education. The ensemble has conducted masterclasses and workshops for young musicians, and they have also established the Salzburger Solisten Academy, which provides training and support for young musicians. Throughout their long and illustrious career, the Salzburger Solisten has remained committed to their mission of bringing classical music to audiences around the world. Their exceptional musicianship and dedication to their craft have made them one of the most respected and beloved classical music ensembles in the world.
