His hard-fought rivalry with his colleague Porpora had artistic consequences amply documented in the development of his operas and oratorios. He then hit on the idea to present concertos on the organ to his public as entertainment during the intermissions and scored a sensational success. Even Porpora's star-studded ensemble of vocalists including the famous Farinelli as a powerful drawing card could no longer compete with him. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eAfter four seasons the Italians quit the field. During later generations Handel's organ concertos inspired the production of highly imaginative arrangements. What Samuel de Lange (completely forgotten today, unjustly so) did with the sources about 150 years later is now for the first time being presented on the historic Furtw\\xe4ngler \u0026amp; Hammer organ in L\\xfcneburg.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe great respect shown by de Lange for his masterful source material is reflected even in his musical text: he precisely noted in the original when the organ was to play and when the orchestra was to do the same. On a three-manual instrument, like the one available to de Lange in Rotterdam, the organist could produce a genuine 'concerto' - with solo and tutti in alternation - just as had once been Handel's practice.\u003cp\u003eConcerto Op. 4\/1 In G Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto Op. 4\/4 -  F Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto Op. 4\/2 - B Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto Op. 4\/5 F Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto Op. 4\/3 - G Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto Op. 4\/6 B Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55173190615425,"sku":"558094","price":19.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41H-5YRnzIL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768134493","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/558094","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
