HANDEL: THE TWELVE CONCERTI GROSSI, OPUS 6 (4 LPs; Angel). Using the same basic means- two violins and a cello set against a small orchestra- Handel achieved widely different moods. Yehudi Menuhin plays one of the violins in the trio and conducts the Bath Festival Orchestra with the same scholarly fidelity and high musical spirits that he displayed in his recent recording of the Water Music...
