The organ concertos represent one of the most important chapters in Haendel's mature instrumental production. In this edition Antonio Frigé, an authentic specialist in Baroque music, with his "Pian & Forte" ensemble succeeds in restoring all the brilliance and instrumental richness of Haendel's Concertos: a small ensemble is sufficient to temper the counterpoint of the German tradition with the English technique of the anthem, obtaining a fluid amalgam in which the tight imitative play is free to dissolve in the concertante dialogue of the voices.
