As a concert soloist it is only possible to dominate a room by using a special technique for the recorder. Concert performances in different halls and churches require a baroque music ensemble to have outstanding skill.

Sabrina Frey is one of the best-known names in recorder music and has already enjoyed notable success as a soloist with her baroque music programmes. In ensemble music she is often joined by well-known musicians who have mastered the repertoire in the same way as she has. In the concert room, the immediacy of the recorder creates an individual and almost emotional access to the baroque music. Sabrina Frey says “With the recorder, mastery begins with the highly personal aspect and where there are no technical constraints”. And so we hear her play as if she were speaking.
