The Story Behind the Triumphant Premiere of Handel's Messiah, a Gramophone magazine feature, is specialist classical music journalism covering the 1742 Dublin charity premiere and the Foundling Hospital charity performances that followed. Its strength is that Gramophone is a long established specialist classical music publication, adding performance history detail beyond a bare encyclopedia entry. Its limit is that it is magazine journalism rather than scholarly analysis, and the atlas has not been able to re-verify the page directly against Gramophone's own site, whose certificate currently fails to validate; a claim resting on it should also be checked against another independent source where one is available.
