Nominated for a 2025 GRAMMY® award in the Best Choral Performance category

Debuted in the the Billboard Top 10!

In this timely recording, renowned baroque conductor Jeannette Sorrell presents her own adaptation of Handel’s legendary Israel in Egypt. Restoring Handel’s original 3-part dramatic arc, which is very rarely performed in modern times, Sorrell trimmed and tightened the sprawling work to deliver a compelling theatrical journey for contemporary audiences. The “magnificent” (Gramophone) Apollo’s Fire orchestra and chorus deliver a tour-de-force performance. “Sorrell’s interpretation is as original as her editing. She navigates this epic boldly, with edgy tempos, provocative dynamics and flawless pacing.

Superb technique and dramatic flair…” (BBC Music Magazine).
