Concerti Grossi, op. 6 nos. 7–11

Album by George Frideric Handel & Thurston Dart & Sir Andrew Davis & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, nos. 7–11 are five of the twelve concerti grossi composed by George Frideric Handel, published in 1739. They exemplify the Baroque concerto grosso idiom, contrasting a small group of soloists (concertino) with the full ensemble (ripieno) supported by continuo and showcasing Handel's command of string textures, contrapuntal writing and his contribution to mid-18th-century orchestral repertoire.
First released: 22nd March 2024
