The Mr Charles the Hungarian named in the title of this Linn release was probably Charles or Carlo Vernsberg, a hornist active in England from the 1730s onward. He must have had some connection to Hungary, but biographical details of his early years are scant. Mr Charles mounted a concert in Dublin in 1742, just as Handel was in town to perform Messiah. It is not at all clear that Mr Charles was "Handel's rival in Dublin," as he is here proclaimed to be. The Irish Baroque Orchestra and conductor Peter Whelan here offer a hypothetical loose reconstruction of Mr Charles' concert. Both this program and the original, insofar as it is known, include a lot of Handel, including excerpts from the ubiquitous Water Music; Handel ruled the roost, and it is doubtful whether Mr Charles was much of a rival. Reconstruction is made difficult by the fact that almost all of Mr Charles' own music has been lost; the Chasse movement here, an excerpt from a suite, is one of the few surviving pieces. Whelan compensates with some virtuoso solo pieces: a wind trio by Hasse, a concerto grosso by Handel with a lovely flute part, and a cello concerto by the obscure Lorenzo Bocchi. The idea of reconstructing a concert of Handel's day is a valuable one, and the performances here are uniformly strong. Even the well-trodden Water Music is distinctive, with a blistering Bourée. Handel aficionados and Baroque fans, in general, will welcome this release.
