Praise for Apollo’s Fire’s CD recording and performances of the Vespers:

FANFARE
“A stunning achievement. . . . It wins out handily over William Christie’s versions and other recent issues.”

INTERNATIONAL RECORD REVIEW
(Great Britain)
“Sorrell and her fine young choir lavish attention on every phrase and inflexion. The exhilaration and sense of discovery is utterly infectious. . . . An unanticipated delight.”

THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
“Resplendent . . . with vibrant attention to dramatic detail. Unlike many accounts of the “Vespers,” Sorrell’s interpretation conveyed the intense drama that pervades this many-splendored puzzle. She must be one of the best conductors around in this repertoire. In her hands, the glory of Monteverdi’s accomplishment couldn’t have been more radiant or moving. An Apollo’s Fire triumph . . . a thriller from first note to last.”
