Turkovic’s recordings can be found on labels of Archiv Produktion, Camerata, Capriccio, Delos DG, Orfeo, and Sony. Milan Turkovic was created in Zagreb, Croatia, in 1939.

Bach cantatas. During his early years as an orchestral participant, Turkovic was also mixed up in single and chamber realms. In 1983 he became a founding person in Outfit Wien-Berlin, a blowing wind quintet where he still frequently performs. Turkovic was teacher of bassoon in the Salzburg Mozarteum from 1984-1992. Upon departure from that post he became a member of the faculty in the Vienna Conservatory, where he offered until 2003.
