Handel’s Viola Concerto is a quite popular work among viola players, some like it, others hate it. Unfortunately, it is also often considered only as “study material” hadnel therefore ill-treated and not made really enjoyable. Georg Friederich Handel was born inthe same year as Bach and four years after Telemann.
Indeed, in some of his operas he gave the violas an important role and composed some arias with solo viola accompaniment. This concerto was composed about years after Handel’s time, by Henri Casadesus Casadesus was a French composer, viola and viola d’amore player and publisher. With his family he had formed a Society of Ancient Instruments and, in addition to rediscovering music by old masters, he composed some new ones.
Henri Casadesus
He did what also Fritz Kreisler did with the violin, composing a lot of works and passing them off as little-known works by Baroque composers. However, for some reason, Casadesus’ works, unlike Kreisler’s, are usually less known and belittled, instead of being considered as some original, clever compositions.
Maybe is it because he played the viola and composed for viola? Anyway, I think it was a brilliant invention, it is a nice compostition “in Baroque style”. The concerto is in three movements, Allegro moderatoAndanteAllegro molto. Here you can hear the viola concerto, played by William Primrose.

I chose this recording because I find it more lively and interesting than others. I also like that Primrose plays embellishements, some little trills here and there. It is very energetic and it is quite jolly even though the concerto is in a minor key. This concerto reminds me of Bach’s orchestral Suite n. In this Handel’s concerto you can hear the solo viola often play softly, pianoaccompanied by flute and basson. The solo viola and the orchestra are balanced, the viola is not overwhelmed by the orchestra.
I think this work is an concertl addition to the “Baroque” viola repertoire, very enjoyable for both viola players and for listeners. It is suitable for players of intermediate level.
