Handel: Concerti Grossi

Album by George Frideric Handel & The English Concert & Trevor Pinnock

Handel: Concerti Grossi is a collection of twelve concerti grossi by George Frideric Handel, published in 1739. They exemplify the Baroque concerto grosso form, featuring contrasts between a small concertino and the larger ripieno ensemble, ornate string writing and dance-derived movements, and they represent Handel's mature engagement with instrumental composition and an influential contribution to the development of the orchestral concerto repertoire.
