Christmas Concertos

Album by Arcangelo Corelli & Giuseppe Torelli & Academy of Ancient Music & Christopher Hogwood

Christmas Concertos is a collection of concerti grossi (Op. 6) by Arcangelo Corelli, published in 1714. The set exemplifies the Baroque concerto grosso idiom with contrasting concertino and ripieno textures, clear harmonic organisation and dance-derived movements, and its nocturnal slow movement associated with Christmas performance practice marks it as a culminating publication of Corelli's mature output that influenced later Baroque composers.
