Synopsis

Album Description
In the 1730s and '40s, the concerto grosso form reached the summit of its popularity and distribution in England. Handel responded with the twelve Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, which he completed in less than a month. His autographic notes on the score show that it took him no longer than two days to compose any one concerto. This collection contains Handel's most brilliant and intricate instrumental music. The Hamburg Soloists were founded on the initiative of its present director, cellist Emil Klein, with the intention of creating a high caliber string orchestra for special chamber music and solistic projects.
