Concerti Grossi op. 6, Vol. 1

Album by George Frideric Handel & Collegium Musicum 90 & Simon Standage

Concerti Grossi Op. 6, Volume 1 is the first volume of George Frideric Handel's set of concerti grossi, published in 1739. The works belong to the Baroque concerto grosso tradition, featuring contrasting concertino and ripieno textures, imitative counterpoint and dance-derived orchestral rhythms that represent a mature phase of Handel's instrumental writing and a significant contribution to the genre's repertoire.
