SABRINA FREY - RECORDER
Baroque music is my musical home. Although I feel at home in many other musical genres, it seems to me that in the baroque period particularly high and imaginative demands were made on the flute and its musicians.
I am constantly working on approaching my music and my instrument with new approaches in order to let these demands live on. With the requirements of modern concert halls, I developed a blowing and breathing technique that enables the flute to take up large and small spaces and to develop a volume that one would hardly think possible.
I'm glad that you found this website. I hope to share some parts of my enthusiasm for music and the instrument with you, regardless of whether you have found your way here as a musician, student or listener.

CD RELEASE September 2022:
ITALIAN SONATAS 1730
Sabrina Frey and Philippe Grisvard lead a colorful journey through the versatile Flauto dolce repertoire of Italy in the 17th and 18th centuries.The "Neopolitan school", the "Venetian school" and Arcangelo Corelli's influences are represented as well as the "galant style".
Premiere recordings can be heard alongside well-known works whose manuscripts are scattered in libraries around the world. And yet all the sonatas were composed in Italy within just 30 years. The interpretation of the baroque sonatas with only two instruments creates a flexibility that is enchanting.
