She became known to a wide audience through appearances as a duo with her sister Baiba, with whom she also released an album in March 2007 with works by Franz Schubert , Ludwig van Beethoven and Maurice Ravel . Her solo debut album with recordings by Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel was released in January 2007 . Since then she has also increasingly established herself as a soloist.
