Composer:
George Frideric Handel

Artist(s):
Richard Egarr

Conductor:
Richard Egarr

Background: In the 1730s Handel was prepared to try any novelty in order to remain at the centre of the musical scene in London. This is what prompted him to interpolate concertos for organ, with himself as soloist, in performances of his oratorios. Their considerable success soon led to the publication of a whole set of such concertos.

It is this edition, corrected with great care by the composer himself, that Richard Egarr has used for the present recording.
