Organ Concertos, op. 4 & op. 7

Album by George Frideric Handel & George Malcolm & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

Organ Concertos, Op. 4 & Op. 7 is a collection of organ concertos by George Frideric Handel, first published in the mid-18th century. Written in the Baroque style for organ soloist with orchestral accompaniment, the works blend virtuosic solo passages and ritornello textures and were composed to be played during Handel's London performances, reflecting his engagement with public concerts and his development of keyboard-orchestral repertoire.
First released: 1996
