About
Apollo’s Fire’s founder and director Jeannette Sorrell is “a masterful musical storyteller” (Seen and Heard). The Maestra and her acclaimed baroque orchestra add to their distinguished AVIE discography that includes Handel’s Dixit Dominus and Messiah, with her own adaptation of the composer’s oratorio Israel in Egypt. This colourful orchestral showcase takes the listener on a biblical journey from the Israelites lamentations on the death of Joseph, to the frogs, locusts, disease and darkness that plague the Egyptians, to Moses’ miraculous parting of the Red Sea. Apollo’s Fire launch the album with a one-night-only performance of Israel in Egypt in their home base of Cleveland, on October 21, before travelling east for a collaboration of the work with the New York Philharmonic on October 25 and 26. Joining Sorrell and Apollo’s Fire are sopranos Margaret Carpenter Haigh and Molly Netter, countertenor Daniel Moody, tenor Jacob Perry, baritone Edward Vogel, and the Apollo’s Singers chorus.

Reviews
“… The performance by Apollo’s Fire and the singers is quite fine, with solid and expressive phrasing and tempos, as well as a good sense of the style that Handel might have approved of …”
Bertil van Boer – Fanfare – May/June 2024
“… The performance is absolutely first rate. The recorded sound is warm and ingratiated… The solo singing is highly polished and poised, with emphasis on clarity rather than heft…”
William J Gatens – American Records Guide – January/February 2024
“… Apollo’s Fire, playing on period instruments, are magnificent. The violins really come into their own in the plagues: hopping about as frogs, buzzing away as flies. The tutti passages, with trumpets, trombones and timpani, right forth in Georgian splendour. Jeannette Sorrell conducts her own version of the oratorio with energy and sensitivity…”
Richard Lawrence – Gramophone magazine – November 2023
Performance **** Recording ****
“…This recording is a powerful argument or ‘Sorrell’s’ Israel in Egypt.”
