For the first time, the Irish Baroque Orchestra and its Artistic Director Peter Whelan have recorded what can be considered the ensemble’s signature work, Handel’s Messiah, an annual touring highlight in the IBO calendar. Surprisingly this is the first recording on historical instruments by an Irish ensemble. Given the work, a staple of oratorio music, was premiered in Dublin in 1742. That year, a struggling Handel came to the second biggest city in the British Isles to rekindle his fortune. After the premiere (700-strong attendance, the ladies were asked to come without hoop-framed skirts and the gentlemen without their swords), Handel left Dublin a much richer man. The Irish Baroque Choir and an array of first-class singers (Hilary Cronin, Helen Charlston, Alexander Chance, Nathan Mercieca, Guy Cutting, Frederick Long and Edward Grint) join the IBO to try and capture something of the atmosphere of that extraordinary moment, in a recording which traces back the origins of this enduring masterpiece.
