Harriet is an enthusiastic chamber musician. She enjoys the strong personal connection when touring with Baiba and Lauma Skride and with her regular piano partner Magda Amara. The annual summer festival "Harriet & Friends" at Burg Feistritz (Austria) is one of her dearest projects, and will have its 12th edition in 2023.
Harriet has an exclusive recording relationship with Deutsche Grammophon since April 2018. As first result of this collaboration a disc with works by Vivaldi, recorded with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta and their leader Candida Thompson, was released in September 2019. Silent dreams, a new album of songs by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Chausson, Strauss and Glinka was released in September 2021. Her discography also comprises six discs, all released by Capriccio, featuring music by Kabalevsky, Haydn, Brahms, Rachmaninov as well as several French composers.
Harriet performs on a Domenico Montagnana cello (Venice, 1723) whose scroll was made by Stradivarius. The rare instrument is on loan to her by the Prokopp Foundation.
