On her captivating journey, Susanne Fröhlich explores not only the vast family of recorder but also their literature. She presents some of the results of her studies in her new GENUIN album, which features Japanese music from 400 years ago alongside contemporary compositions, including several world premiere recordings. Listeners will experience works by Markus Zahnhausen, Chaya Czernowin, Gerriet Krishna Sharma, Sarah Nemtsov, and even Susanne Fröhlich herself. This album pushes the boundaries of recorders that have been technically enhanced, unveiling fascinating soundscapes like never before!

"Susanne Fröhlich is driving the repertoire for recorder forward in an imaginative way and has done away with common prejudices. [...] The studio version of a longer ‘concert installation’ plays with noise-intensive and experimentally multi-layered 3D sound projections of a recorder part that sounds as different as if an entire ensemble were at work."Review by Dirk Wieschollek, March 1, 2025

"[...] a well thought-out selection of recorder types on which Susanne Fröhlich is able to conjure up a truly extraordinary range of recorder sounds. [...] a CD that can be rediscovered again and again. Brilliant in every respect!" Review by Walter van Hauwe, February 17, 2025

"Susanne Fröhlich presents not only her impressive virtuosity, but also her intensive exploration of the diversity of the recorder family of instruments. [...] ‘UKAI’ presents an often underestimated instrument as an independent, fascinating world of sound - and makes a lasting impression." Review by Isabella Guzy, 2/2025 issue
