From its beginning in 1990, the members of the bavarian chamber philharmonic orchestra were aiming to create and perform their own program concepts at the highest possible level. Two years later, the first CD recording in co-production with the Bavarian Broadcasting Company was released and won several awards from the international music press.

Besides its own concert series in Augsburg/Germany, concerts all over the world, invitations to festivals, CD productions and the collaboration with renowned conductors and soloists such as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Mischa Maisky, Mario Venzago, Michel Plasson, Règis Pasquier, Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, Martha Argerich and Mstislav Rostropovich are testament to the high quality of the orchestra.

CD recordings have been released with companies such as Deutsche Grammophon, EMI, Sony/BMG, Atlantis Art (Switzerland), Koch Schwann, Arte Nova, cpo and St.Louis Records/USA. Amongst these are the world premiere recordings of the concertos for one and two horns by Antonio Rosetti. They were given five stars by the BBC Music Magazin and were awarded three times ten points at „Klassik heute“.
