The Chamber Choir of Europe has established itself as one of the pre-eminent choral groups on the contemporary scene by virtue of its extensive touring and recording activity, the latter exclusively for Brilliant Classics. The Chamber Choir of Europe was founded as the Nordic Chamber Choir by Hanno Kreft. Finding its voice under choral conductor Nicol Matt, the Chamber Choir of Europe began to clean up on the concert circuit -- the name change became permanent in April 2002. Since then the Chamber Choir of Europe has recorded all of the choral music of Mozart, Brahms, and Mendelssohn; all of Johann Sebastian Bach's chorales; and works of Rossini, John Rutter, and Morten Lauridsen.
