Dorothee Mields

  • Telemann “Musicalisches Lob Gottes” leavened with Viol Fantasies

    Aug 30th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, CPO, Dorothee Mields, Georg Philipp Telemann, Hamburger Ratsmusik, Hanna Zumsande, Klaus Mertens, Simone Eckert

    For this release, Simone Eckert takes a stripped-down approach to Telemann. Granted, Telemann’s sacred music sounds glorious with a large chorus and supporting orchestra. But the reality was different. Most German courts had modest resources, with only a few singers and a handful of instruments. The cantatas recorded here could all be considered chamber works […]

  • Psalmen & Friedensmusiken ends Heinrich Schutz series on a strong note

    Jul 22nd, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, Carus, CD Review, Classical music, David Erler, Dorothee Mields, Dresdner Kammerchor, Felix Schwandtke, Georg Poplutz, Gerlinde Sämann, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Isabel Schicketanz, Maria Stosiek, Martin Schicketanz, Stefan Kunath, Tobias Mäthger

    The Carus traversal of Heinrich Schutz works ends with a collection of commissioned works. For the most part, the music on this 2 CD set marks important occasions in the Dresden court. Some were commissioned for birthdays, others for treaty signings, and so on. Schutz studied in Venice with Giovanni Gabrielli (and perhaps with Claudio […]

  • Heinrich Schütz Madrigale & Hochzeitsmusiken Bring Element of Fun

    Mar 21st, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, Carus, CD Review, David Erler, Dorothee Mields, Dresdner Kammerchor, early music, Felix Schwandtke, George Poplutz, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Heinrich Schütz, Isabel Schicketanz, Tobias Mäthger

    Carus continues their traversal of Heinrich Schutz’s music with a collection of secular compositions. Schutz was primarily known for his sacred compositions, which influenced generations of Protestant composers (especially in Germany). This release features secular madrigals and wedding music that show a different aspect of Schutz. Schutz studied in Venice as a young man. The works in […]

  • Exceptional performances of Graupner cantatas

    Nov 15th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Accent, Baroque music, CD Review, choral music, Christoph Graupner, Dorothee Mields, Florian Deuter, Harmonie Universelle, Mónica Waisman

    This release features three cantatas and two overtures by Christoph Graupner. Graupner was a contemporary of Bach, Handel, and Telemann, and their near-equal in talent. He spent most of his career at the court of Hesse-Darmstadt, composing over 1,400 works. The three cantatas on this release are early works, written between 1714 and 1725. Graupner […]

  • Heinrich Schütz Symphoniae Sacrae II Beautifully Performed

    Jun 30th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carus, David Erler, Dorothee Mields, Felix Schwandtke, Georg Poplutzl, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Heinrich Schütz, Isabel Jantschek, Tobias Mäthger

    This release features the second of three volumes of Schütz’s Symphoniae Sacrae. Schütz published his first volume in Venice in 1629. Volume II was completed 18 years later in Dresden, where Schütz was a major musical figure. Like the first volume, these works show some influence of Monteverdi and Gabrieli. But that influence seems much […]

  • Heinrich Schütz Symphoniae Sacrae I – Models of Clarity

    Apr 23rd, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, Carus, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, David Erler, Dorothee Mields, Dresdner Kammerchor, Felix Schwandtke, Georg Poplutzl, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Heinrich Schütz, Isabel Jantschek, Tobias Mäthger

    Heinrich Schütz published three volumes of his Symphoniae Sacrae. Hans-Christoph Rademann and Carus continue their traversal of Schütz’s catalog with Symphoniae Sacre I. This 1629 collection of works reflects Schütz’s time in Venice. While there, he studied with Giovanni Gabrielli and Claudio Monteverdi. The influences of both are apparent in these settings of the Songs […]
