As champion of music from Ireland, Peter Whelan and his Irish Baroque Orchestra give a rare glimpse into a fascinating figure of the eighteenth-century Dublin music scene. Who was Rachel Baptist? Not much is known of the 'Celebrated Black Syren', other than she was a soprano of African descent and born in Ireland, sang regularly in Dublin, London, Liverpool and other cities, and performed alongside famed castrato Giusto Ferdinando Tenducci. The programme includes works that Baptist might have performed at the 'Grand Concert of Vocal and Instrumental Musick' held in 1752, including arias by Handel, Pasquali (a couple of premiere recordings), Purcell and some additional instrumental pieces. The 'resplendent' Rachel Redmond (The New York Times) is the soprano.

I like the movie it was the wayI remember it
I’m just saying I think it’s great
Packaging is what you'd expect. Thick cardboard vinyl record sized. Record arrived in perfect condition. This is a great album. I Prevail knocked it out of the park on this one. The transparent blood shot vinyl is super cool and quite a statement piece. Looking forward to listening session with this one in queue.
I love i. I already used all 5 of them last night. Thanks.
