12 Concerti grossi, op. 6

Album by George Frideric Handel & Arte dei Suonatori & Martin Gester

12 Concerti grossi, Op. 6 is a set of twelve concerti grossi by Georg Friedrich Händel, published in 1739. Composed in the late Baroque, the works employ the concerto grosso format alternating a small group of soloists and the full ensemble, featuring contrapuntal textures, brisk rhythms and dance-derived movements, and they occupy a notable place in Handel's instrumental output and the late Baroque concerto tradition.
