Concerti Grossi, op. 6 (disc 1)

Album by George Frideric Handel & I Musici

Concerti Grossi, Op. 6 (Disc 1) is a disc presenting George Frideric Handel's Op. 6 set of concerti grossi, works originally published in 1739. The pieces exemplify the Baroque concerto grosso form, contrasting a small solo group (concertino) with the full ensemble (ripieno) and employing ritornello structures, contrapuntal textures and dance-derived movements, occupying an important place in the development of English Baroque instrumental repertoire.
