Composer:
George Frideric Handel

Conductor:
Andrew Manze

Background: Considered among the finest examples of Baroque orchestral music, Handel's Concerti Grossi, op.6, completed in 1739 over a mere four weeks, surpass the work of other outstanding composers of the form, such as Vivaldi, Scarlatti, and Corelli.

Conceived as a grand cycle rather than as individual compositions, these 12 pieces demonstrate Handel's facility blending a variety of styles and devices with seemingly endless melodic beauty. Andrew Manze leads The Academy of Ancient Music in a vivid and vibrant performance.
