Concerti Grossi, Op. 3

Album by George Frideric Handel & Royal Northern Sinfonia & George Malcolm

Concerti Grossi, Op. 3 is a set of concerti grossi by George Frideric Handel, published in 1734. The works exemplify Baroque concerto grosso practice by alternating a small concertino group with the full ensemble, employing imitative counterpoint, dance-derived movements and virtuosic solo passages, and they mark a consolidation of Handel's orchestral technique during his mature London period.
