IBO & Peter Whelan - Welcome home, Mr Dubourg - The Sunday Times

This is a real find. Matthew Dubourg, “director of the Irish state music”, was admired by Burney and Handel, for whose Dublin Messiah he led the violins. The disc includes music by Vivaldi and Corelli associated with Dubourg, but the rest, Dubourg’s own, brilliantly performed — a concerto and excerpts from his Dublin odes — is not at all diminished by the comparison.
