Bratislava Symphony Orchestra & Choir

​

In 2000, together with a select group of Bratislava musicians, I founded the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra (BSO) with a clear vision: to create an orchestra of excellence—flexible, evolving, and ready for any type of project. Twenty‑five years and more than 900 international productions later, that vision remains our driving force.

​

Recording with a symphonic orchestra is an art that demands precision and expertise. At the BSO, we bring together all the essential elements: a hall with acoustics designed for symphonic perfection, musicians experienced in every musical style, sound engineers with deep orchestral knowledge, and a team fully committed to excellence.

​

Our extensive experience—over 25 years and 900 projects for clients worldwide—allows us to offer a comprehensive service for recordings across all musical genres. Composers such as Michel Legrand, Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe, Brian Tyler, John Debney, Roque Baños, Gaute Storaas, Tamer Karawan, Robin Hoffmann, Pessi Levanto, Federico Jusid, and Otto M. Schwarz choose the BSO for their projects.

​

From the grandeur of a full symphonic orchestra (85 musicians) and a 50‑voice choir to chamber ensembles, symphonic bands, and children’s choirs, the BSO adapts to the needs of every production.

​

Our studios are located in Bratislava, less than a three‑hour flight from virtually any major European city, making us a strategic hub for international productions.

​

Professionalism, preparation, and an unwavering dedication to each project are the pillars that ensure exceptional results in every recording.
