Concerti grossi op. 3 & op. 6

Album by George Frideric Handel & Münchener Bach‐Orchester & Karl Richter

Concerti grossi, Op. 3 and Op. 6 are collections of instrumental concerti by George Frideric Handel, published in 1734 and 1740 respectively. Rooted in the Baroque concerto grosso tradition, the works contrast a small group of soloists with a full string orchestra and continuo, presenting contrapuntal writing, dance-derived movements and diverse textures that mark Handel's mature contribution to the genre.
