Georg Friedrich Haendel (1685-1759): Organ Concertos Op.7
Gramophone Editor's Choice - October 2009
Handel’s last great published set of instrumental concertos arrived posthumously in 1761.
Played here on a chamber organ with real-time improvisations and enlarged continuo support, these magnificent Concertos (including the beloved The Cuckoo and the nightingale) show Handel at his glorious and compositional best, and allow a concentrated view of his style from the last twenty years of his life.
