Händel: Concerti Grossi

Album by George Frideric Handel & Concentus Musicus Wien & Nikolaus Harnoncourt

Concerti Grossi, Op. 6 is a set of twelve concerti grossi by George Frideric Händel, published in 1739. The works exemplify the late Baroque concerto grosso form—alternating passages for a small concertino group and full ripieno, with contrapuntal textures, dance-derived movements and ornamentation—and occupy an important place in Händel's instrumental output and the development of the genre.
