Palestrina

The Golden Renaissance

The final release in Stile Antico’s ‘Golden Renaissance’ trilogy on the Decca Classics label commemorates 500 years since the birth of the quintessential composer of the Italian Renaissance, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. The album is based around Palestrina’s famous Missa Papae Marcelli, the mass setting which is reputed to have saved church music from being banned by the Catholic Church. It also honours Palestrina’s connections with the Papal Chapel at St Peter’s Rome and the church Santa Maria Maggiore.

Stile Antico sings this complex yet elegantly polished music with the group’s usual combination of lushness and focus, stillness and energy, bringing expression and nuance to what can sometimes slip into coolly uniform gorgeousness.

No matter how elaborate the counterpoint, there are no hesitations, no rough edges.
