Heavenly Bach - Arias & Cantatas

Billboard chart-topping and Grammy-winning Jeannette Sorrell, baroque orchestra Apollo's Fire, soprano Amanda Forsythe and the music of J. S. 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.
