Originally conceived as attractive interludes for English oratorio performances, Handel's concerti grossi quickly became famous as the most appealing orchestral music of the baroque era. \u003cbr\u003eWith these pieces written in London towards the end of his career, Handel pays tribute to the very popular concerti grossi of Corelli while proving his mastery, integrating all the musical styles of his time into his work. \u003cbr\u003eThe musicians of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, led by their solo violinist Bernhard Forck, demonstrate why many consider them the best baroque ensemble today. \u003cbr\u003eThe concerti grossi op 6 conclude with this second part, and a recording of the concerti grossi Op 3 will complete the trilogy. The ensemble's first album PENTATONE, Cantata 2018 with countertenor Bejun Mehta, won a Diapason d'Or. \u003cbr\u003eTheir 2019 recording of the first six op 6 concerti grossi was praised as \"impeccably played without fashionable eccentricities\" by The Sunday Times, while Klassik praised the ensemble's playing as \"eloquent.\"","brand":"Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58283294392664,"sku":null,"price":24036507.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0827949077661.jpg?v=1787783948","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/akademie-fur-alte-musik-berlin_handel-concerti-grossi-opus-3_2020","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
