The 6 Concerti grossi Op.3 form the first printed collection of Handel’s orchestral compositions. Formerly known as the ‘oboe concertos’, the volume was published by John Walsh in 1734 – not necessarily on the composer’s own initiative – from a variety of pieces composed over a period of some 20 years. The orchestration in the Walsh edition is particularly unconvincing, with numerous octave doublings and a virtual absence of elements typical of the concertante style. Vincent Bernhardt has therefore proposed a new instrumentation, organised according to the principle of dialogue between groups that characterises the concertante language of this period. An improvised theorbo prelude precedes the work.
To extend Handel's oboe repertoire the artists have fashioned two concertos, for oboe and oboe d’amore, out of eight selected movements that are essentially built on castrato arias from the operas, a practice in line with the pasticcios created in Handel’s day.
This album presents the corpus of oboe concertos by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759), of which unfortunately few original works have survived. The composer, however, was particularly fond of this instrument and learned to play it from his teacher, the organist Friedrich Zachow. He gave it many solos in oratorios, operas, concerti grossi and sonatas, and is reported to have said of his early works for oboe: "I used to write like the D-v [Devil] in those days, but chiefly for the oboe, which was my favourite instrument."
The Oboe Concerto in G minor is his best known, furthermore we hear two Concerto-Pasticcio’s for Oboe and Strings, a Concerto a Cinque in C minor, a Concerto in C minor and the adaptation of the Concerto grosso Op. 3 No. 3 for oboe and strings.

Comfort and Grace of Telemann’s music are immeasurable and beyond words

Handel conjures incomparable splendour and profundity from simplicity.....a wizard!
-
Later in life I have really come to appreciate the oboe! Warm and magisterial, yet also capable of light and sparkling elevation of the spirit. THESE oboe concertos -- in the hands of incomparable genius GF Handel -- illustrate, better than my words ever could -- the range and possibility of the oboe. The oboe is like a human voice ... emerging from an inanimate object. Handel, Mozart, Bach ... greatest composers for that GREATEST instrument -- the OBOE!

Oh, quanto sono lontani i nostri musicisti moderni da artisti e compositori di quei tempi, che grazia !

Гениальная музыка. Старинные композиторы знали о музыке больше чем современные.
-
Вот печаль-то! Мечтал слушать свою ещё советскую фонотеку классики, наконец починили аппаратуру, а... пластинки уже и не нужны! Всё есть в Интернете. И какое качество, начнёшь слушать и не можешь оторваться. Ну и, конечно, Гендель–это что-то божественное.

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieser sechs fein oder perfekt komponierten Konzerte mit herrlichem Ton der technisch perfekten Solo-oboe sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der intelligente und geniale Cembalist/Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Kammerorchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende!

Beautiful beyond words 💟🙏🌿
