Dorothee Mields is one of the leading female vocalists in the field of seventeenth and eighteenth century music. Mields is especially loved by the public and press for her unique timbre and moving interpretations. Her flawless technique and her voice's ethereal clarity mean that she knows exactly how one should sing these songs and relate the stories behind them, thus endowing them with new life. The ensemble Les Amis de Philippe assists her with great tonal sensitivity. Between 1791 and 1805 Haydn wrote arrangements for 426 Scottish songs in response to commissions from Scottish publishers and did so in the belief that he was writing folk music; in reality, however, it was cultivated salon music.
