Handel Organ Concertos

Album by George Frideric Handel & Simon Preston & Menuhin Festival Orchestra & Yehudi Menuhin

Handel's Organ Concertos are a set of instrumental works by George Frideric Handel, composed between 1738 and 1751. Written in the Baroque idiom for organ and orchestra, they were often performed as interludes in Handel's oratorios and illustrate his approach to solo keyboard writing and dramatic orchestral accompaniment, marking an important practical and stylistic element of his later career.
