Radiantly sung… Stile Antico’s attention to the colour of words, subtle alternation of solo voices and different groupings of singers lent constant variety to the timbre and tone of the sound.

Stile Antico were on their usual excellent form… ensemble and blend… were perfect.

The balance of voices was exquisite. Stile Antico’s sound is at once blended and individual… richness of sound and complexity of meaning.

No other group has their bright freshness of sound, or their vivid immediacy in performance.

These were singers who knew just when to bring out an inner voice, just when to emphasize a climactic note or a pivotal dissonance. They always knew where the music was going and why. It was a superb concert.

A performance with breathtaking control, precise execution, and astonishing text and structural clarity.  I haven’t heard choral singing of this quality in years…

Beginning with Jesus’s betrayal in the garden and ending with the entombment, there’s a profound sense of peace and meditation to Victoria’s masterly settings. With a spirited rendition of Guerrero’s joyful motet Maria Magdalene giving a lift at the end, it was hard not to emerge from such a concert without feeling refreshed and cleansed of spirit.

This expressive flexibility is unusual, and comes out of a passion for the music and the excitement of the moment that one could feel grow organically in the group… The music culminated in joy and glory, a wise end to a brilliant performance.

Stile Antico is often touted as one of Britain’s finest early music a cappella choirs… It’s a hard accolade to uphold, but one that’s hard to deny.

Distancing itself from the traditional English choral delivery of cold perfection (“angelic”, but emotionally dry) and without a conductor, Stile Antico astonished us with a unique transparency of sound,
