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 discogr aphy 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.
