Handel Concerti Grossi
The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin continue their Handel trilogy with this recording of the last six concerti grossi of the
composer’s Op. 6. Originally designed as attractive interludes to English oratorio performances, Handel’s concerti grossi
soon gained fame as some of the most appealing orchestral music of the baroque era. With these pieces, written in London
towards the end of his career, Handel paid tribute to the immensely popular concerti grossi of Corelli while simultaneously
proving his mastery, incorporating all musical styles of his times into his work. The players of the Akademie für Alte Musik
Berlin, led by their concertmaster Bernhard Forck, demonstrate why many consider them the best baroque ensemble of
today.
