Product Description

Handels great set of 12 Concerti grossi (= Grand Concertos, in the first edition) op. 6 are somehow a bit related in spirit, through their power and diversity, with Beethovens string quartets. Therefore, here they are arranged for the more abstract and timeless medium of the string quartet, allowing also for an addition to the repertoire of the respective ensembles. Articulation, tempo and dynamics indications were specified or added where needed, and all the trills were indicated to start with the upper auxiliary note, not only according to the Baroque performance practice but also fitting to the melodic contour. Concerto grosso in C minor, op. 6 no. 8: 1. Allemande (Andante) serious and dramatic; 2. Grave-Andante allegro a somber transition, then agitated and experimental; 3. Adagio-Siciliana (Andante) a brief, beautiful and simple introduction, then complex and expressive; 4. Allegro dance-like and crisp. Total duration 13 min 30 sec. The mp3 audio clip is the finale (Allegro). Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN.
