She was in 1968 a singer in Nikolaus Harnoncourt's recording of Bach's Mass in B minor, pioneering historically informed performances in 1968, singing the second soprano part.[1] She recorded Bach cantatas for solo soprano, conducted by Fritz Werner, including Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen, BWV 51, with Maurice André performing the solo trumpet part.[2] She performed contemporary music in a concert in honour of prize winners of an Austrian composition competition.
