Early Music Review February 2012
I scarcely noticed the words in either language, so bewitched was I by the simply wonderful vocal tone and phrasing. These are pure and exquisite respectively and the general approach is completely without affectation. More singing should be like this.

Dorothee Mields's pellucid soprano, verbal sensitivity and unexaggerated response to mood and character make her a well-nigh ideal interpreter...While her German diction is a model of clarity, the dark vowels and flavoursome consonants of Polish seem to inspire Mields to an extra expressive intensity...Playing an overtone-rich 1848 Pleyel, Nelson Goerner, too, brings an added freedom and subtlety of nuance to the Polish originals.
