Concerti Grossi op. 6, Vol. 2

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

Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, Vol. 2 is the second volume of George Frideric Handel's set of concerti grossi, published in 1739. It exemplifies the Baroque concerto grosso form through contrasts between concertino and ripieno forces, fugal counterpoint and alternating fast and slow movements, and reflects Handel's engagement with Italianate instrumental styles during his mature London period.
