Joachim Kaiser wrote about her debut CD with the works of Robert Schumann : "Marina Baranova: an excellent Schumann interpreter!"

In addition to classical performance practice, she is interested in cross-border projects: The NDR hired her for the improvisation project "Auschwitz. Talking is forbidden, silence impossible". It can refer to a large number of world premieres, including "Stellar" for guitar (Frank Bungarten), old keyboard instruments (Marina Baranova) and electronics (Damian Marhulets). Another electro-acoustic composition by Damian Marhulet's "Triangulation" was performed at the Beethovenfest Bonn. Both compositions were dedicated to Marina Baranova.

She performed as a chamber musician with Giora Feidman in the Wiener Konzerthaus with the program "Jüdische Lieder und Schubert Lieder". Shortly thereafter, she was invited to a CD production, where she recorded some compositions as a guest soloist with Giora Feidman. The collaboration with the Klezmer legend continues in the “Fantasy” trio with Giora Feidman and percussionist Murat Coskan.

Marina Baranova is also active as a composer. Their latest CD "Firebird" contains exclusively their own compositions. This CD, which she recorded together with Murat Coşkun (oriental percussion instruments), was released in November 2013 on the label "Pianissimo Music" and is distributed by "Edel".
