The release of her debut CD with the first six sonatas by Martinus Ræhs will be released on the record label, Arcantus, in October 2020. The CD is the first of two CDs with the complete flute sonatas by the Danish composer Martinus Ræhs (1702-1766). On the CD she is joined by Anna Paradiso, harpsichord and piano, Mats Olofsson, cello, and Jonas Nordberg, theorbo and baroque guitar.

Clara Guldberg Ravn is interested in how a musician’s sense of meaningfulness is transmitted and communicated to the audience during a concert. There are many kinds of extraordinary, touching and lasting concert experiences. The ones to aim for, as a musician—if they’re possible to create at all—are those that imbue the audience members with a sense of flow and elevate their spirits, leaving them in deeper contact with their feelings, encouraged and fortified enough to go out in the world and create and contribute with whatever means are available to them.

​

In January 2017 she recorded—with Marcus Mohlin and Johannes Geworkian Hellman—an EP with music by Marin Marais and M. Ræhs on the record label BlueGroupMusic.
