20 Sonatas “Opus 1”

Album by George Frideric Handel & Rachel Beckett & Lisa Beznosiuk & Paul Goodwin & Elizabeth Wallfisch & Paul Nicholson & Richard Tunnicliffe

Sonatas, Opus 1 is a collection of 20 sonatas by George Frideric Handel, published in 1732. The works employ Baroque chamber sonata forms for solo instruments with continuo, featuring contrapuntal writing and dance-derived movements, and they represent a substantial element of Handel's instrumental output and typical early-18th-century sonata practice.
First released: 1995
