Information

The creative riches of structure and the broad diversity of styles that Handel exhibits in the 61 (!) movements of his 12 Grand Concertos, time and again coloured by a surprising palette of musical expression, is unique, and has led to his opus VI being generally considered alongside Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos as one of the great monuments of Baroque instrumental music.

Zupackener Händel aus Amsterdam.
Nach ihrer hoch gelobten Aufnahme der Concerti Grossi op. 3 legt das Combattimento Consort Amsterdam die lang ersehnte Fortsetzung mit op. 6 vor. Händel komponierte diese Werke als Intermezzi zwischen Opern- und Theateraufführungen und ließ seinem kreativen Einfallsreichtum freien Lauf. Die große Palette musikalischer Ausdruckskraft ist überraschend und erscheint - neben Bachs Brandenburgischen Konzerten – einzigartig.

Händels Concerto-grosso-Companion opus 6 is in the best hands: Combattimento Consort Amsterdam.
