Organ Concertos, op. 4

Album by George Frideric Handel & Peter Hurford & Concertgebouw Kamerorkest & Joshua Rifkin

Organ Concertos, Op. 4 is a set of organ concertos by George Frideric Handel, published in 1738. Written in the Baroque tradition, the concertos feature virtuoso organ passages against string and continuo orchestration and serve as notable examples of Handel's keyboard writing and his adaptation of the concerto form for use within his theatrical and sacred performances.
