Concerto Amsterdam was a classical chamber ensemble based in the Netherlands and active during the 1960s and 1970s in both live performance and the recording studio.
[1] In addition to Schröder who served as the ensemble's concert master until 1973, its soloists have included keyboardist Gustav Leonhardt, violist Joke Vermeulen, flautist Frans Brüggen, and cellist Anner Bylsma.
[2][3] Concerto Amsterdam's musicians originally played on modern instruments using "historically informed" performance techniques.
[4][5] The mainstay of their repertoire was music from the Baroque and early Classical periods, but they also made the first complete recording of Die 7 Kammermusiken by the 20th-century composer Paul Hindemith.
[6] Many of their original vinyl recordings for Telefunken have since been reissued on CD by Teldec in Das Alte Werke series.
