SMitF concert reviewed in Church Times
Stile Antico caressed the counterpoint into a smooth ribbon of precisely phrased sound, showing an almost telepathic rapport as the singers made eye contact.

Undoubtedly Beverley Minster suited the singers down to the ground: they were on top form… the music positively gleamed.
Martin Dreyer, Charles Hutch Press (6 June, 2025)
Wonderfully nuanced singing… near-telepathic understanding that comes from years of collaboration without that controlling figure in the middle.
Richard Morrison, The Times (13 May, 2025)
Stile Antico specialises in music of the 16th century… sung with rich-hued warmth in the vocal sound, animation and vigour in the rhythms and an almost superhuman responsiveness between the singers.
Bernard Hughes, The Arts Desk (13 May, 2025)
The group treads the fine line of ‘historically informed performance’ perfectly, mingling a consummate understanding of the practice of the period with an attractive regard for the modern listener’s need for the drama of music written since.
Barry Creasy, MusicOHM (12 May, 2025)
Short but intense praise for the group Stile Antico…. their three-part anniversary concert at Wigmore Hall displayed their expertise in the repertoire they sing best
Fiona Maddocks, The Observer (18 May, 2025)
Their diction is crystal clear, and the tone and blend of the ensemble is particularly beautiful… a delicately lyrical close to an evening of exquisitely well-performed music.
Christian Carey, Sequenza 21 (April 17, 2025)
Warmth, emotion and a metrical flexibility all the more striking for being achieved without a conductor. The singers seem telepathically linked…
Richard Morrisson, The Times (19th November, 2024)
If the rest is anything like this opening event from Stile Antico, listeners would be well advised to flock to the Temple Church now.
Mark Berry, Seen and Heard International (1 July, 2023)
…truly full of joy, light and hope. Those who say that English groups are cold should see the communicative Stile Antico live…
Simón Andueza, RITMO (10 April, 2023)
The miraculous British group Stile Antico… perfectly assembled and well-tuned, balanced and united.
El Espagnol (8 April, 2023)
As ever, the group’s balance was perfect… Stile Antico were in their element, expertly controlling texture and dynamic…
