The CD of this program was released internationally in June 2011 on British label Avie and was in the Top 10 on the Billboard Classical Chart for two weeks.

Apollo’s Fire was founded in 1992 by the award-winning harpsichordist and conductor Jeannette Sorrell. The ensemble has toured throughout North America and released 18 commercial CDs. Since the ensemble’s introduction into the European CD market in 2010, the recordings have won rave reviews in London’s press. “Come to the River: An Early American Gathering,” became an immediate best-seller in the United States.
