Time 2020

On her new Album, the outstanding Baroque soprano presented together with the Swiss early music Ensemble "The Friday Academy," works for soprano and chamber music by Georg Friedrich Handel.

The band OM is cult. The four musicians Urs Leimgruber (saxophone), Christy Doran (guitar), Bobby Burri (Bass) and Fredy Studer (Drums) wrote jazz history as pioneers of European Electric-Free Music from 1972 to 1982.

Magnificent work. The treated pianos echoing in the distance create a perfect nostalgic atmosphere that is both melancholic and hopeful at the same time.

More glorious Baroque high jinks from the sparkling players of La Serenissima, including concertos by Vivaldi and Brescianello, a double-trumpet sinfonia by Albinoni, and two opulently scored ballet suites by Nicola Matteis the Younger.

German soprano Dorothee Mields has emerged as a leading figure in the performance of both Baroque and contemporary music, praised by Forbes as "unflappable at any tempo." Mields was born in Gelsenkirchen, in the industrial Ruhr valley, in 1971. Her training was German: at the University of Bremen with Harry van der Kamp and later independently in Stuttgart, where her teacher was Julia Hamari, and she has continued to study with Richetta Manager during her active career. Mields took a position teaching at the Franz Liszt Academy in Weimar in 2001. In the early 2000s her performing and recording career began to develop rapidly. Mields' recordings have been devoted mostly to Baroque music. She made her debut on CPO with a 2002 release of chamber cantatas by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel, followed two years later by a second volume of those and by a recording of the rare Gellert Oden of C.P.E. Bach. After a four-year hiatus, she began recording for the German labels Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, Accent, and Carus, as well as continuing with CPO.
