Appearing regularly in the music capitals of Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Salzburg, London, Paris, Amsterdam, and New York, she has collaborated with such illustrious conductors as Claudio Abbado, Nikolas Harnoncourt, Pierre Boulez, Daniel Barenboim and Sir Simon Rattle. Her recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, Hyperion and other leading labels consistently win critical acclaim. Her expansive repertoire embraces Bach, Handel, Schubert and Mozart as well as Schoenberg, Berg, Strauss, Debussy and Messiaen.
