Concerti Grossi Op. 6, Volume 2: Nos. 3, 4, 7, 8

Album by George Frideric Handel & Hamburger Solisten & Emil Klein

Concerti Grossi Op. 6, Volume 2: Nos. 3, 4, 7, 8 is a selection of concerti grossi by Georg Friedrich Händel, published in 1739. The music exemplifies Baroque concerto grosso practice, with contrasting concertino and ripieno groups, contrapuntal textures and continuo-supported accompaniment, reflecting Handel's mature engagement with Italian forms and his activity in the London instrumental scene of the 1730s.
