Concerti grossi, op. 3

Album by George Frideric Handel & Handel and Haydn Society & Christopher Hogwood

Concerti Grossi, Op. 3 is a set of twelve concertos by Georg Friedrich Händel, published in 1734. The collection adapts orchestral and keyboard material into the Baroque concerto grosso form, utilising contrasts between small concertino groups and the larger ripieno ensemble, fugal textures, ornamented melodic lines and dance-derived movements, and marks Handel's engagement with the concerto grosso idiom prevalent in early 18th-century England and Italy.
