For a Baroque Sunday morning, a little piece from a Dutch composer –

Willem de Fesch (1687-1761), Concerto Grosso in B-flat major, Op. 10, No. 2 (1741)

Performed by Bremer Barockorchester in Unser Lieben Frauen Church, Bremen on 13 February 2020.

The Largo (03:38-06:37) has especially beautiful lyricism.

Willem de Fesch shows influences from Italian composers such as Arcangelo Corelli and Antonio Lucio Vivaldi, and from George Frideric Handel, whose orchestra de Fesch played in during 1746, after he moved to London, and conducted in 1748 and 1749.
