About

Billboard chart-topping and Grammy-winning Jeannette Sorrell, baroque orchestra Apollo's Fire, soprano Amanda Forsythe and the music of JS Bach create a divine musical partnership.

Heavenly Bach pairs two of the composer's most popular cantatas, interspersed with two sublime arias from the St John Passion. In Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen! ( Shout to joy for God in every land!), Forsythe's dazzling virtuosity hits the high notes - she "sets arias on fire" according to BBC Music Magazine, whilst the secular 'Wedding Cantata' exudes a joyous and evocative marriage in springtime, for a result that is heavenly indeed.

Soprano Amanda Forsythe enjoys bringing virtuoso artistry to major stages on both sides of the Atlantic. Praised as "simply dazzling" (New York Times), she has appeared repeatedly at such venues as the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden and the Rossini Festival in Italy. She is a frequent soloist with the Boston Early Music Festival, with whom she can be heard on the Grammy-winning recording of Charpentier's La Descente d'Orphée aux enfers.
