Apollo's Fire

"A swaggering version... The most is made
of the instrumental colours Bach so exhilaratingly put onshow. The keyboard
part in the 5th Brandenburg is brilliantly
played by Sorrell."
– THE SUNDAY TIMES, LONDON

"Stunning. Each [concerto] is a perfectly polished little gem. A fabulous harpsichord cadenza played with gusto by Sorrell.
Bubbles like fine champagne…"
– EARLY MUSIC AMERICA MAGAZINE

"One word – wow! Where has this recording been? Nothing short of spectacular."
– AUDIOPHILE AUDITION

"Ineffably cheerful... Musicians playing zestfully and withobvious understanding
of Bach’s virtuoso works. Appealing,
intelligent and well played."
– FANFARE

"Sorrell delivers a brilliant take-no-captives rendition of the big solo in No. 5.
In all, these performances are lively
and unfailingly attractive—the best in
what historical performance can be....
an impressive treasure.."
