Description
The 2025 Pacific Baroque Festival embraces the most cherished human values as expressed through the music of 17th and 18th century Germany. Curated by our featured soloist, the extraordinary German soprano Dorothee Mields, the programs exemplify the most profound emotions, expressed in music for voice and an intimate instrumental ensemble. The music of Buxtehude and Bach are a thread through the festival programs, combined with that of lesser-known composers whose music deserves to be heard.
“Her vocal instrument is flawless: pure and transparent in timbre, yet capable of the most subtle inflections and cultivated shadings. She can find both radiant sweetness and compelling emotional depth…”
– Vancouver Classical Music
“This soprano has everything: sweetness, “unaffected purity” (Charles Downey),
pitch-perfect intonation, unflappable at any tempo, and with a movingly dramatic
execution of the text because she loves the word nearly as much as the note.”
– forbes.com
“Mields is splendid. Her poise, luminous vocalism and animated dialogue with the
band show why she’s an Early Music legend.”
– BBC Music Magazine
