Bach with the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester, a complete Mozart concerto cycle with Festival Strings Lucerne, "The Four Seasons" by Astor Piazzolla and Antonio Vivaldi with the Munich Chamber Orchestra, and works by Britten, Hindemith, Szymanowski, Strauss and Prokofiev. Arabella Steinbacher’s most recent release features Beethoven’s Violin Concerto and Georges Lentz’s "...to beam in distant heavens...", recorded with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg and Gustavo Gimeno.

Born into a family of musicians, she has played the violin since the age of three and began her studies with Ana Chumachenco at the University of Music and Theatre Munich when she was eight. She cites the late Israeli violinist Ivry Gitlis as an important source of musical inspiration and guidance.
