Her "Suite da sala su temi di opere verdiane" ("Operatic Suite on Verdi's melodies") has been performed around the world by the Bruno-Valcepina (Giuseppe Bruno and Paolo Valcepina) piano duet. Ferrari's music appears on several cd recordings, including four all-Ferrari organ CDs: three recorded by Carson Cooman (2014/16) and another by Peter Clark (2015).
