Capriccio

Record label for high-quality classical music. Home in Vienna, Austria. The classic music label Capriccio was founded by Delta Music in 1982.

Today, Capriccio’s catalogue includes well over 1,000 titles with repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary composers, full of re-discoveries and world premieres, and pe

rformed by a steadily growing roster of internationally renowned artists. Capriccio is committed to the music fans that look beyond the paths of mainstream classical music and who are curious to discover unknown repertoires, young artists, as well as inventive programs. All this offer artists like Christine Schäfer, Petersen Quartet, Tabea Zimmermann, Vladimir Spivakov and many others. CEO and master-brain behind Capriccio is Johannes Kernmayer.
