Description:

The hottest orchestra in American ancient music! The Sacred Music of J.S. Bach! Apollo's Fire, Cleveland's period orchestra founded by the brilliant Janet Sorrell!Coupling J.S. Bach's popular cantatas and two sublime arias! American soprano Amanda Forsythe, #1 on the Billboard charts and "BEST OPERA RECORDING" at the 57th Grammy Awards in 2015, and the talented Janet Sorrell, who studied with Gustav Leonhardt in Amsterdam and Roger Norrington and Leonard Bernstein in the US. The sacred music of J.S. Bach is performed by Apollo's Fire, a Cleveland, Ohio, USA period orchestra founded by Janet Sorrell, a brilliant young woman who studied with Gustav Leonhardt in Amsterdam and Roger Norrington and Leonard Bernstein in the United States. This album features two of the most important cantatas in the soprano repertoire, plus a sublime aria from the John Passion. In these works, which demand great skill in the upper register, Forsythe demonstrates her core singing voice and virtuosity. The result is a supreme moment of heavenly resonance. Tokyo M-Plus
