When the first bars of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony reached the recording equipment in March of 2018, it wasn't merely the musicians' "daily grind" but rather the birth of an ensemble: the chamber orchestra Klangkollektiv Wien. The mission of the Klangkollektiv Wien is to perform the music of the Viennese Classical era with care and love, beyond more routine. This is why we- musicians from all of Vienna's orchestras- came together for the first time. This music, which was at the onset of the development of the modern orchestra- with which we handle a diverse program of works from all different eras every day- becomes ever more an oasis of tranquility through it's clear form and inner beauty, the epicenter of our lives as musicians. Our goal is to give these works the attention they deserve, to communicate their message to listeners. This first document of our common passion came about in collaboration with the conductor Remy Ballot and the record label Gramola, who were involved in this project's development from the very beginning.
