Dorothee Mields

Bright as a bell and angelic: these are attributes that come to mind when listening to Dorothee Mields’ voice come to mind. Without much fanfare, she has the front row of European baroque sopranos. And yet this voice in its clarity and purity never seems ascetic or boyish (there are angels like that too!), but always filled with filled with sensual warmth. (Source: jpc.de)

She recorded Bach’s cantatas, the Christmas Oratorio and the two great Passions with early music specialists such as Philippe Herreweghe and the Collegium Vocale Gent or the ensembles of the J. S. Bach Foundation under Rudolf Lutz. In addition to Bach, Dorothee Mields is also enthusiastic about other baroque composers such as such as Graupner, Telemann, Purcell, Handel, Schütz and Monteverdi and for the music of the Renaissance as in the “Basevi Codex” project with the Boreas Quartet Bremen.

She has an intensive collaboration with the with the lautten compagney Berlin, with whom she has programs on English baroque music, Monteverdi and with music that reflects war events from 1618 to 1918.

Dorothee Mields is also involved in contemporary music, for example at the Munich Biennale or with the Klangforum Wien. She appreciates chamber music work with instrumentalists such as Stefan Temmingh Stefan Temmingh, Hille Perl, Tobias Koch and the Salagon Quartet.
