Sing with the Voice of Melody
To celebrate Stile Antico’s tenth anniversary as a professional ensemble, Harmonia Mundi released this special compilation of music drawn from the group’s first nine recordings. The twelve members of the group each chose a single track, and wrote about it in the accompanying booklet. The resulting album is an exquisite sampler of Renaissance polyphony, full of contrast and colour and ideal for those encountering this repertoire, or Stile Antico’s work, for the first time.
