From the Baroque era to the present: our archive is like your music textbook
It's not just a collection of recordings. In the archive, you'll find entire periods of music history–performed by professionals, with scholarly texts and biographies. It's exactly what you need for your studies.
Whether you're a student at a conservatory or the Academy of Performing Arts, or music has simply captured your interest – the archive is designed so that you can not only listen but also learn something.
All eras in one place. Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th- and 21st-century music – from Bach (or “our own” Šimrák) to contemporary Slovak composers. You can trace how the musical language has evolved century by century–right up to the present day.
In high-quality performances. These aren't random recordings from a phone, TikTok, or YouTube. Performed by the Slovak Philharmonic, its ensembles, and its guests–professional ensembles, leading conductors, and soloists. You'll hear the work exactly as it's meant to sound.
With commentary and expert texts. Along with the concerts, you'll find program notes and articles by musicologists and music popularizers–explaining what the piece means, when it was composed, and what to listen for. You don't have to guess; you'll get the context.
Biographies and context. For every composer, conductor, or performer, you can view their biography and other works. Just click on a name and keep exploring.
And you'll find it quickly. Search by composer, work, period, or instrument. The Solos section also shows you the repertoire organized by instrument.
Open the archive, choose a period or composer, and get started. It's free, with no downloads required.
Enjoy!
