After their debut album for Amadeus, they produced a series of CDs for Sony – Deutsche Harmonia Mundi devoted to the composers most representive of their constant historical repertoire research: Baldassarre Galuppi, Niccolò Jommelli, Davide Perez, and a live recording dedicated to Händel’s Roman works. In 2018, a new album devoted to Pergolesi has been published for Arcana (Outhere), with the rare Mass in D Major and the hitherto unrecorded Mottettone Dignas laudes resonemus.

Coro e Orchestra Ghislieri is the ensemble in residence of the historic Collegio Ghislieri of Pavia, where their artistic development is pursued through rehearsal constantly accompanied by research. Since 2017, this research has been supported by a Scientific Committee established in partnership with the Musicology and Cultural Heritage Department of the University of Pavia.
