Concerti Grossi, op. 3

Album by George Frideric Handel & Les Musiciens du Louvre & Marc Minkowski

Concerti Grossi, Op. 3 is a set of concerti grossi by George Frideric Handel, published in 1734. The works employ the Baroque concerto grosso format with contrasts between a small group of soloists and the full ensemble, featuring idiomatic string writing, imitative counterpoint and Italianate concerto gestures that reflect Handel's adaptation of continental styles for the London musical scene.
