Concerti Grossi, op. 3, 1-6

Album by George Frideric Handel & Tafelmusik & Jeanne Lamon

Concerti Grossi, Op. 3, Nos. 1–6 is a set of six concerti grossi by George Frideric Handel, published in 1734. The works exemplify the Baroque concerto grosso form, alternating small-group concertino and full-ensemble ripieno textures with continuo-accompanied string writing, and reflect Handel's engagement with Italian models and his contribution to instrumental music in early 18th-century England.
First released: 1993
