Georg Friedrich Händel - Concerti Grossi

Review by NUTRI-O GDL

Concerti Grossi by Georg Friedrich Händel is a collection of twelve concertos, originally composed in the early 18th century. The album showcases the brilliance of the Baroque era, and the mastery of Händel's musical style.

The performance is executed by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, under the direction of Neville Marriner. The orchestra delivers a stunning rendition of the concertos, with each instrument finely tuned and expertly played.

The album begins with the Concerto Grosso in B-flat major, which sets the tone for the rest of the collection. The music is grand and majestic, with a sense of grandeur that is typical of Händel's style. The second concerto, in F major, is more subdued, with a slower tempo and a more contemplative mood.

As the album progresses, the music becomes more complex and intricate, with each concerto showcasing different instruments and musical styles. The Concerto Grosso in D minor is particularly impressive, with its dramatic opening and intricate violin solos.
