Awards and reviews

October 2010

It's heartening to hear a German ensemble perform Purcell...with such conviction. Dorothee Mields is a fine soprano who is as confident in the melismas of "Sweeter than roses" as she is heartfelt in the broken phrases of 'O let me weep"; and, on the whole, her English is excellent.

September 2010

Mields has barely a hint of an accent, and is marvellously expressive throughout, suggesting more than a passing familiarity with the English language...The instrumental playing...also has much to recommend it.
