Handel: 6 Piano Concertos, Op. 7

This unique new release features Handel’s organ concertos Op. 7 arranged for and performed on piano. These works were composed originally for organ and orchestra between 1740 and 1751, and were published in 1761 after the composer’s death. They were intended to be performed during Handel’s oratorios. “A fine and delicate touch, a Volant finger, and a ready delivery of passages the most difficult…[Handel’s] excellencies were of a far superior kind; and his amazing command of the instrument, the fullness of his harmony, the grandeur and dignity of his style… were qualities that absorbed every inferior attainment.” (Sir John Hawkins, 1776)
