Concerti Grossi: Op. 3, no. 3 / Op. 6, nos. 4-6

Album by George Frideric Handel & Capella Istropolitana & Jozef Kopelman

Concerti Grossi: Op. 3, no. 3 / Op. 6, nos. 4-6 are Baroque concerti by George Frideric Handel, published in 1734 and 1739 respectively. They exemplify the concerto grosso format's contrast between a small group of soloists (concertino) and the full ensemble (ripieno), featuring contrapuntal textures, dance-derived rhythms and continuo-driven harmonic support, and they form part of Handel's mature London-period output.
