Notes
Handel: Concerti Grossi, Op. 3 – Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields, Iona Brown
Although the Concerti grossi are not the best known works of George Frideric Handel, they embrace everything we love about this composer: catchy, festive, cheerful, and contemplative melodies are imbued with a rich and imaginative harmonic language to produce unfailingly entertaining and exhilarating works. All that has to be done is to relax and enjoy.
Iona Brown was born in Salisbury into a musical and highly gifted family. She studied in Rome, Brussels, and Vienna, and in Paris with Henryk Szeryng. In 1974 she was elected as the Art Director of the Academy of St-Martin-in-the-Fields. Her records with Argo and, later, Hännsler were noted for their tremendous style and vitality, as this brilliant Hännsler download demonstrates.
