Jeannette Sorrell and Apollo’s Fire celebrate the holiday season with a unique release of Handel’s Messiah: a three-disc set presenting a dramatic approach that explores the work as the theatrical entertainment Handel intended—an oratorio being a dramatic work, and Handel’s bold declaration that Messiah was “A Sacred Oratorio.” The DVD includes footage from rehearsals, concerts, and recording sessions as well as interviews with soloists, principal players, and Sorrell.

“The Messiah we’ve been waiting for.” — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“A blend of scholarship and visceral intensity.” — Gramophone
