With the Wolpe-Trio she recorded Harmonies and Counterpoints between Germany and America (1999), with works by Stefan Wolpe, Erik Lund, Dietrich Hahne, Scott Roller and Manfred Stahnke, and the first of Johannes Fritsch’s 3 Trios (2006) on the alto flute. To these is added Fritsch’s Early Chamber Music (2011). Both Fritsch albums belong to the Feedback Studio Köln series.
