"It is hard to think of a better specialist German Baroque soprano than Mields at the moment; her flawless tone, awareness of instrumental interplay, delivery of poetry and shapely phrasing provide nothing but undiluted pleasure." Gramophone
Georg Philip Telemann (1681-1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. Self-taught, he became a composer against the wishes of his family. He was one of the most prolific composers in history and was considered to be one of the greatest composers of his day. His music is an important bridge between late Baroque and early Classical styles.
Works performed here are secular cantatas and opera arias, including rarely heard repertoire. The CD contains no less than 9 world premiere recordings! (Tracks 4, 5, 15-21).
Dorothee Mields is one of the leading interpreters of C17th and C18th music and is feted by audiences and critics alike for her unique timbre and moving interpretations with her flawless technique and the ethereal clarity of her voice.
The L'Orfeo Baroque Orchestra, founded in 1996, is a leading ensemble in the field of historical performance and has a special fondness for the music of Telemann. It is conducted here by its Austrian founder and leader, Michi Gaigg, a former student of acclaimed, Gramophone Award-winning conductor, Nikolaus Harnoncourt.
Texts and translations are included.
"It is hard to think of a better specialist German Baroque soprano than Mields at the moment; her flawless tone, awareness of instrumental interplay, delivery of poetry and shapely phrasing provide nothing but undiluted pleasure." Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine, June 2013
"Her vocal quality, secure intonation and tasteful use of ornamentation characterise performances that are further enhanced by her sensibility to music and text like. This attractive disc is no mere litany of arias extracted from larger works, but a thoughtfully constructed programme...A delight from start to finish." Five Stars BBC Music
