Dorothee Mields [SEP] voice type
Dorothee Mields
Dorothee Mields (born 15 April 1971) is a German soprano concert singer of Baroque and contemporary music.
Career.
Mields was born in Gelsenkirchen. She studied at the University of the Arts Bremen with Elke Holzmann, Harry van der Kamp and Gabriele Schreckenbach. After graduation she continued studying in Stuttgart with Julia Hamari.
Career Baroque music.
With the Collegium Vocale Gent and Philippe Herreweghe she recorded several Bach cantatas, his Magnificat in E-flat major, BWV 243a, "Easter Oratorio" and
Bach as "small" voices, voice types with certain characteristics: he names Peter Kooij and Dorothee Mields as examples of that voice type. 
By contrast, a number of 21st-century Bach conductors have instead accepted Joshua Rifkin's arguments that most of Johann Sebastian Bach's choral music was performed with only one singer per voice part.
