Early Music Vocal Ensemble
Cleverly crafted 45 minute videos that explore the background to each piece in terms of history, geography, politics and Zeitgeist… a splendid opportunity for fans of music of the period.

Two laments on the death of Josquin… provide a fitting and stirring conclusion to this compelling recording.
Christian Carey, Sequenza 21 (26 March, 2021)
It was obvious that every line had been dissected for its intent… consummate understanding of the idiom.

A concert… that confirms the stature of Stile Antico beyond any doubt.
Colin Clarke, Seen and Heard International (23rd February, 2021)
A great introduction for the Josquin novice… In a nice touch, Stile has also included two motets by the composer’s contemporaries – emotive musical homages, both – giving some sense of his extraordinary legacy.
Alexandra Coghlan, The Tablet (4 February, 2021)
Stile Antico: the finest group to appear in Renaissance music in two decades. This CD is as brilliant, immaculate and striking as its predecessors.
Christophe Huss, Le Devoir (12 February, 2021)
Stunning performances, full of attention to detail on dynamic and phrasing
Barry Creasy, MusicOHM.com (2 October, 2020)
A miraculous celebration of choral music of the English Renaissance… it was ravishing.
Colin Clarke, Seen and Heard International
The superb, shining British vocal ensemble Stile Antico…
Zachary Woolfe, New York Times (10 Feb, 2020)
An ensemble of articulate, well-matched voices, expertly, artfully used. That’s what we expect from Stile Antico, and it’s what we get here: outstanding performances, timeless music.
David Vernier, Classics Today (January 2020)
Stile Antico’s performance is flawless, the group’s technical prowess never at the expense of expressive warmth.
Graham Rickson, The Arts Desk (21 December, 2019)
Stile Antico is one of the leaders in this field… the Mass is given its warm fullness of sound by six voice parts, sung here two to a part with exemplary poise and glow.
Richard Fairman, The Financial Times (20 December, 2019)
