Notes

An unmissable celebration of the baroque genius of George Frideric Handel.

This album unites the majesty of the six Concerti Grossi, Op. 3, with the virtuosity of the first four Organ Concertos, Op. 4. Under the iconic direction of Karl Richter, the Chamber Orchestra offers a landmark interpretation that respects the historical essence and brilliance of these compositions.

An essential collection for anyone wishing to explore or rediscover Handel's instrumental masterpieces.
