SOLO
Already ten years in my career as an opera singer I fell in love with LIED, a rich treasure box full of revelations. The stories told in songs don’t need a stage, they are just expressed by the voice and carried by the piano.
Together with Jendrik Springer I started off as a duo in 2002. We recorded the CD  “Goethe – das Ewig Weibliche”.
Stephan Matthias Lademann and Camillo Radicke are the pianists of my “dimensions” – trilogy “WELT – ANDERSWELT – INNENWELT”, a musical journey through the chapters of human BEING and awareness, delicately presented in CD-form by the label Solo Musica.

ENSEMBLES
In the year 2006 the label Harmonia Mundi offered me to join in on the Brahms Liebeslieder Walzer recording for vocal quartet and piano for four hands.
The days in the studio together with my colleagues Stella Doufexis, Werner Güra and Konrad Jarnot and the pianists Camillo Radicke and Christoph Berner were of such friskiness and joy that we immediately felt that this music needs more than just a CD. We performed over 20 performances in the celebration year of Brahms and then decided together with our new mezzo Anke Vondung to record the Spanish quartets by Robert Schumann as well as the  solemn and gregarious quartets of Franz Schubert.
