Freiburg Baroque Orchestra perform Handel's three 'concertos for two wind choirs'
Handel’s three ‘concertos for two wind choirs’ were composed to provide an additional draw as well as to offer variety during his oratorio seasons in 1747-48. Despite their title, strings are used as well as wind, making these unusual pieces written for two large-scale ensembles capable of exciting antiphonal effects.
