Concerti Grossi op. 6, Vol. 3

Album by George Frideric Handel & Collegium Musicum 90 & Simon Standage

Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, No. 3 is the third concerto in George Frideric Handel's set of twelve concerti grossi, published in 1739. Scored for a concertino of solo instruments with string ripieno and continuo, it exemplifies the Baroque concerto grosso through contrasts between solo and ensemble textures, varied tempi and ornamented melodic lines, and reflects Handel's mature instrumental style within the English Baroque tradition.
First released: 2023
