"Jeannette Sorrell's decision to follow Bach's example and do a little arranging of her own is an enterprising one - indeed a daring one when it comes to transforming "Summer" from The Four Seasons into a harpsichord concerto."
(Gramophone)

"Apollo's Fire has become one of the pre-eminent period-instrument ensembles, causing one to hear familiar baroque material anew...the showstopper is the vivid "La Folia": I love the strings' halting introductory bars and the way the ensemble picks up speed, building to dizzying whirls evocative of the Moorish dance it's named after."
