"luscious colours and deep sonorities"-- Irish Times

"The music is always ear-catching and the captivating performances (and the bright recording) abound with verve and energy" -- Early Music Review

"the curious and rather delightful Triple Concerto from Christoph Graupner…spirited music making in a recording that brings us close to the chamber music, but never stifles the Read more sound." -- BBC Radio 3

"Monica Huggett makes the point that 18th-century soloists were often just virtuoso ensemble principals taking their turn front-of-stage. And that's what happens on this fine album from the Irish Baroque Orchestra...the playing is lovely, with great poise from Huggett and standout charismatic bassoon playing from Peter Whelan." -- The Guardian
