Organ Concertos, op. 7

Album by George Frideric Handel & Academy of Ancient Music & Richard Egarr

Organ Concertos, Op. 7 is a published set of organ concertos by George Frideric Handel, released in 1761. The music blends Baroque concerto structures with virtuosic, improvisatory organ passages and orchestral accompaniment, and the set occupies a role in Handel's later output as works intended to accompany oratorio performances while highlighting the organ as a solo instrument.
