Description
Grammy Award-winning soprano Amanda Forsythe joins the acclaimed baroque orchestra Apollo's Fire and their founder/director Jeanette Sorrell for an impassioned recording of arias from Handel's seminal operas.
Love, angst and revenge are the timeless themes of Handel's operas, as brought to vivid life in this recording by the acclaimed baroque orchestra, Apollo's Fire. Soprano Amanda Forsythe, described as "simply dazzling" by The New York Times, joins conductor/harpsichordist Jeannette Sorrell to explore the gamut of emotions, from fiery coloratura arias to tragic laments. The recording includes rarely-heard arias and a few favorite chestnuts, drawn from eight of the composer's operas.
Personnel: Amanda Forsythe (soprano), Apollo's Fire, Jeannette Sorrell (harpsichord/director)
Critical acclaim for Apollo's Fire and Amanda Forsythe:
"Forsythe sang with lovelorn emotion, studded with superb bursts of precise, seemingly effortless coloratura." - San Francisco Chronicle
"Amanda Forsythe was the star of the show. Her soprano has just the right amount of weight and vibrato; it soars, spins and sparkles with high dudgeon. She is also a total actress. Rage arias steadily gathered steam and exploded." - Wall Street Journal
"Expressive subtlety, exuberance and passion" - Classical Music Magazine on Apollo's Fire
"Apollo's Fire provided an evening of superlative music-making...European stylishness combined with American can-do entrepreneurialism." - The Daily Telegraph
