Bruno Weil is considered as one of the world’s leading interpreters of Haydn symphonies. His recording with the Canadian ensemble Tafelmusik of the “Paris” Symphonies by Haydn won the MIDEM Cannes Classical award in 1996 (in the category for 17th and 18th century orchestral music).

Cappella Coloniensis, founded in 1954, was the first orchestra in the world to make music according to historical performance practices. Amongst the important conductors that have stood in front of the orchestra are Ferdinand Leitner, William Christie and John Eliot Gardiner, to name only a few, and from 1997 increasingly often Bruno Weil. In 2003 the musicians of Cappella Coloniensis chose Weil as their artistic director.
