12 Concerti grossi, op. 6

Album by George Frideric Handel & I Solisti Italiani

12 Concerti grossi, Op. 6 is a set of twelve concerti grossi by George Frideric Händel, published in 1739. Composed in the Baroque style for strings and continuo, the works employ the concerto grosso contrast between small and full ensembles and combine contrapuntal writing with lyrical, dance-derived movements, representing Händel's engagement with the Italian concerto grosso tradition and his contributions to the genre in his mid-career output.
