The Crown Jewels of the Baroque...(E.B. notwithstanding). Manze with Opus 6 and Egarr with Opus 3 have produced the benchmark of these unsurpassed masterpieces. I never tire of hearing any of them, unlike the Brandenburgs which I know and revere as wonderful buildings of exquisite construction. Alas, I would not want to live in them for they are lovely but there is little life in them. They rumble on with delightful permutations yet are somewhat bloodless whereas Handel's teem with life, passion, violence and polyphony ranging from profound to ferocious and even humorous.
amazing artwork. People in Europe 300 years ago had so much class and taste, despite all their daily life difficulties
You are listening to music written for the aristocracy. It IS gorgeous, but beauty comes at a price.
Not quite! With a few exceptions (Chandos anthems, for example), the vast majority of his music was written for public performance in theatres and other public venues. The general public paid for their tickets just as we do today. Handel depended on the ticket money for his livelihood!
And in fact, Handel became the first classical composer to become a succesful impresario (entrepeneur living well off the performance of his compositions), with his pieces being adored by people, and performed in public venues, with people attending his music with great enthusiasm. Of course he was comissioned by the King to compose such suites like Water Music, or Music for the Royal Fireworks, but he was also popular amongst the general public.
Tartarian. Alost history.

Some of Handel’s music was written for the King - for example, the Water Music - or other aristocracy, such as the Anthems for the Duke of Chandos.
However, the huge bulk of Handel’s music was written for ticket buying middle class audiences in London; the aristocracy may have slummed it in the theatres with the rest, but it was categorically not written *for* them, apart from a very very few notable exceptions.
In this respect, England was very different from much of the rest of Europe where the point you make is reasonably valid until well into the next century.
it is so good, my grandfather loves. The musical is beautiful and harmonious. I love !!!!!!
Thank you for posting. Handel brings joy and sunshine to a dreary raw day
gloire et beauté,admiration profonde
What a beautiful music!!
I'm not much into religious choirs but Handel is great especially his Harmonious blacksmith, his largo from Xerxes, his royal fireworks and of course solomon/queen semba. I love those. Nodas
Dear Nodas, Thank you for warm comment. Do you know his Messiah? Btw. our orchestra played concerto grosso No.1, 2 and 6 and Watermusic. I wish you wonderful day!
Ria Brezova Hi Ria. Yes, I know it, but the tracks I mentioned are my favorites, especially his Harmonious blacksmith and his largo from Xerxes. Bye from a hot Greece!
Andrew Manze revisited widely the tradition of the interpretion of baroque music for solo violin and of the concerto grosso. Haendel apperas us lighter in his recordings than in traditional records, in particular in the most demanding of them which seem me to be the 1, 5 and 6. The attack of the violin in Concerto 5 reminds of a similar beginning in one of the concerti grossi op; 6 of Corelli. This concerto Nr 5 is particularly brillant and light in this recording.
핸델주님께서 한국 핸델교 교인 200만명에게 합주협주곡을 들려 주셔서 고맙습니다. 아름다운 선율은 한반도에 퍼지며 핸델주님의 세상을 선포하십니다.
Very disciplined performance by Manze here; expressive without the extravagance appropriate to, e.g., Corelli, but out of place here
Two highlights for me are the polonaise of No.3, and the dreamlike musette of No.6. Mozart orchestrated the latter as part of his German language version of Handel's Acis & Galatea - a favourite of mine.
Handel had already orchestrated it in the form of a string concerto grosso; anything done subsequently must therefore be a re-orchestration.
The re-orchestration of some Handel works instigated by Baron van Swieten were the single biggest waste of time in Mozart’s entire lifetime, and the results horrible; the originals without exception are preferable by far.
An elegant ecstasy.

Wie stark ist nicht dein Zauberton, Herr Händel!
A Martina le encanta Haendel

The G major. I bet Mozart read this and heard it in his head.
Droga quanto anúncio nesta p.
Brilliant, it's just such a beautiful piece of music.
BEST OF CLASSICAL MUSIC Yes it is.
It could be argued that the Baroque Concerto Grosso started with Corelli and ended with Handel.
corelli is whole different chapter. he is very underrated. But Handel, not so much. From Classical choir compilation mixes, he is almost everywhere. It's impossible to a proper Classical choir compilation without Handel or G.P.Palestrina
Harry Andruschak
When Corelli’s Opus 6 were published in 1714*, he set the bar so high that in truth, in terms of the string concerto grosso, only Handel’s Opus 6 of 1739 could be said to match it.
The twelve works in each set by Corelli then Handel are without exception, magnificent.
* In fact posthumously as Corelli died in 1713 after probably nearly thirty years polishing and revising these exquisite masterpieces.
I like how my dude didn't even bat an eye on the watermarks lmaooo
The Concerti Grossi op 6 are the peak of the genre. Handel incorporated the full range of his compositional styles into the movements, including trio sonatas, opera arias, French overtures, Italian symphonies, airs, fugues, themes and variations, and a variety of dances. They are among the best examples of the concerto grosso baroque genre.
He was one of the greatest musical geniuses ever!:-)
You’re quite right, the only thing I might suggest is that Handel’s Opus 6 sits alongside Corelli’s Opus 6 (Handel’s model) as the *two* greatest sets of Baroque string concerti grossi.
I just ordered this recording from Alibris. Beautiful music.
Italia, sois hija del imperio mas fantástico y eterno de los tiempos. Te amo.
I can't handel so much harmony.
Turkey brings me here.
Thank you. I love Baroque music and Händel. But also Bach and Vivaldi.
You are always welcome!

You can really only properly understand and appreciate late-Baroque music by listening to a wide selection of composers from the period, and from different countries.
Handel (sic), JS Bach, and Domenico Scarlatti as the ‘Class of ‘85’ are a good starting place; then add on Corelli, Vivaldi, Telemann, Rameau, et cetera and you are entering a magical sound world.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 i will try it. 😉
@@elaineblackhurst1509 Agree, Rameau was especially magical to me :D
@@operaforlife6551
Agreed; Rameau is a great non-mainstream composer to investigate for those interested in a really unique Baroque voice.
I have a large number of Rameau cds, and often use music from them in ‘Guess the Composer ?’ games; few people get it right, but everyone is pleasantly surprised and hugely impressed.
Informed by Corelli , arguably the finest examples of Concerti Grossi by GFH.
There is no ‘…arguably’ about it, of their type, Handel’s Concerti grossi Opus 6 along with his model - Corelli’s Opus 6 - are *the* two greatest sets of Baroque string concerti grossi; Handel’s Opus 3 is ok, but not of a comparable stature.
Masterly. Thank you. Beauty selection.
is this canaletto picture?
Yes, this is Canaletto painting, London, The Thames from Somerset House Terrace towards the City.
yes, of London and the Thames. So it says if you click "more" above the comments section of this page.
Siempre he pensado que en concierto número 1, el cuarto y el quinto movimiento están invertidos y primero debería ir el 5to movimiento.
Rupert Tmls Por qué?
Porque el cuarto movimiento me parece “muy rápido” como de giga que es generalmente como finalizan las suites en el barroco. Mientras que el quinto movimiento me parece mas reposado, como un baile mas tranquilo.
Rupert Tmls Ya veo. Es interesante ese punto de vista.
@@ruperttmls7985La verdad no se entiende tu apreciación. El 1er movimiento con ritmos marcados y 2do movimiento rapido recuerda a las oberturas a la francesa. El 3er movimiento es un largo convencional, seguido de un allegro en estilo fugado (que no tiene nada que ver con la giga)...y para finalizar un allegro ligero, casi galante,en forma binaria. Este concerto grosso recuerda mucho a la suite barroca. Handel incluyo muchas formas y estructuras en estos conciertos. Para mi está perfecto
Si, de hecho el último movimiento esta escrito en 6/8 que es el compas de giga, que usualmente es el último movimiento de la suite barroca como bien señalas. Mi comentario es solo una opinión muy pero muy personal y es como a mi me gusta escuchar este concierto.
Saludos a todos los que gustamos de la música de Handel 👋🏻

Here is another version at a slower pace: ua-cam.com/video/joVkx20oVIg/v-deo.html
The number 1 is quite to harsh and to fast!
It destroys a lot of melodic details and runs against the composers intention!
