The Slovak Philharmonic Chorus was formed in 1946 from the mixed chorus of Radio Bratislava and, over the years, has performed a wide repertoire of music, ranging from the earliest choral music to the work of contemporary composers. The Chorus, which appointed Jan Rozehnal as its Music Director in 1990, has performed under many distinguished conductors, including Claudio Abbado, Lorin Maazel, Vaclav Talich and Yuri Temirkanov. Recordings by the Chorus include the Oratorio, The Legend of St Elisabeth by Liszt for Hungaroton, which was awarded the Paris Grand Prix du Disque in 1974, and a number of works for Naxos and Marco Polo, including Respighi’s cantata La Primavera and opera La bella dormente nel bosco.
