Water Music / Organ Concertos

Album by George Frideric Handel & Nikolaus Harnoncourt & Concentus Musicus Wien & Herbert Tachezi

Water Music / Organ Concertos is a collection of orchestral and keyboard works by George Frideric Handel, composed and first performed in the early 18th century (from 1717 onwards). The music exemplifies Baroque orchestral suites and solo keyboard concertos — the Water Music comprises stately, dance-derived movements with prominent brass and string writing, while the organ concertos integrate virtuosic organ passages with the ensemble, reflecting Handel's activity in both courtly ceremonial music and emerging public concert life.
