Concerti Grossi, op. 6

Album by George Frideric Handel & Les Arts Florissants & William Christie

Concerti Grossi, Op. 6 is a set of twelve concerti grossi by Georg Friedrich Händel, published in 1739. They exemplify Baroque concerto grosso practice for strings and continuo, alternating a small group of soloists with the full ensemble through fugal passages and dance-derived movements, and they occupy an important place in Handel's instrumental output during his mature period.
