Six Concerti Grossi, op. 3

Album by George Frideric Handel & Kammerorchester Basel & Julia Schröder

Six Concerti Grossi, Op. 3 is a set of six concerto grossi by German-British composer George Frideric Handel, published in 1734. Written in the Baroque idiom for groups of soloists and ripieno strings, the works employ ritornello structures, contrapuntal writing and virtuosic passagework, reflecting Handel's adaptation of Italian concerto forms for London audiences and forming part of his mid-1730s instrumental output.
