ExclusiveHandel: Concerto Op. 4 No. 2 in B Flat Major

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Georg Friedrich Händel: Concerto Op. 4 No. 2 in B flat Major. The player is unknown. It has Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0 DEED Attribution 3.0 Unported) and is provided through www.musopen.org.

In the 1730s Handel was prepared to try any novelty in order to remain at the centre of the musical scene in London. This is what prompted him to interpolate concertos for organ, with himself as soloist, in performances of his oratorios. Their considerable success soon led to the publication of a whole set of such concertos.

As I listened to this concerto, I have no doubt that these organ concertos by Handel were a great success. What do you think? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section. :-)
