Concerti Grossi, op. 6

Album by George Frideric Handel & Handel and Haydn Society & Christopher Hogwood

Concerti Grossi, Op. 6 is a set of twelve concerti grossi by George Frideric Handel, published in 1739. Rooted in the Baroque concerto grosso tradition, the works contrast small concertino groups with full ripieno forces, employ contrapuntal textures alongside dance-derived and lyrical movements, and occupy an important place in Handel's orchestral output and the development of English Baroque instrumental music.
