12 concerti grossi, op. 6

Album by George Frideric Handel & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Iona Brown

12 Concerti Grossi, Op. 6 is a set of twelve concerti grossi by Georg Friedrich Händel, published in 1739. The collection exemplifies the Baroque concerto grosso form — contrasting a small group of soloists with the full ensemble through alternation of textures, energetic rhythms, virtuosic string writing and contrapuntal passages — and represents a late-career orchestral contribution that played a role in shaping 18th-century instrumental practice.
