Peter Whelan, Feinstein Ensemble

Conductor and musician Peter Whelan is Sean Rafferty's guest, before the Feinstein Ensemble, led by Martin Feinstein, joins them in the studio.

He conducts, plays the baroque bassoon and sits at the harpsichord too: conductor and musician Peter Whelan is the Artistic Director of the Irish Baroque Orchestra, and he talks to Sean Rafferty tonight. The baroque ensemble is performing Handel's Messiah, which was performed in Dublin in 1742, a piece that, contrary to its London premiere later, was well-received in Ireland - a paper of the time writing that it was 'far surpassing anything of that Nature which has been performed in this or any other Kingdom'...

Another Baroque ensemble joins Sean in the studio for a live performance: the Feinstein Ensemble, led by flautist Martin Feinstein, is exploring the music of Bach, including The Musical Offering, and the 'Six Concertos for several instruments' better known as the Brandenburg Concertos, named after Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg, for whom Bach compiled and copied this collection of some his previously composed pieces, and to whom it is dedicated.
