Following her previous very successful release of Love Songs by Purcell (CARUS83435), Dorothee Mields now turns her attention to a darker side of life. Reminiscences of Shakespeare, melancholy and madness are evident throughout this collection. “…marvellously expressive throughout…” International Record Review “Most effective are the ballads and lighter, folksy numbers, where Mields's agile voice enchants...Purists may fgind the ensemble takes a few too many liberties, orchestrating these pieces wioth a battery of percussion, wind and stringed instruments, but there's no denying that it's all done with terrific style and bravura.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2012 **** “Mields has a fine, conventional voice for this kind of music - pure, pretty and with clear, largely correct English - and she enters into the spirit to the point of the odd deranged cackle, sob or moan...Ultimately they seem more like the kind of adaptations you might hear in a modern staging of a Restoration play than a reflection of the 17th-century sound world.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2012 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
