Amarcord has swept both classical categories in the 2006 Contemporary A cappella Recording Awards (CARA), winning both Best Classical Album and Best Classical Song. In addition, Amarcord also won the runner up CARA in both categories for 2006.

Its musical work focuses on music from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as well as collaboration with contemporary composers. For example, Bernd Franke, Ivan Moody, Marcus Ludwig, Siegfried Thiele and Dimitri Terzakis have all written compositions for amarcord. Yet amarcord repertoire also contains a variety of different programmes covering all facets of vocal music ranging from madrigals through romantic compositions to a cappella arrangements of well-known songs.
