The New York Times on Stile Antico’s US debut

Allan Kozinn, New York Times (14 June, 2009)

Magic was in no short supply. Friday evening at Emmanuel Church the British a cappella ensemble Stile Antico made its American debut with a program of Renaissance settings of the Song of Songs, including a striking antiphonal setting of “Veni Dilecte Mi” by Sebastián de Vivanco and seamlessly lush works by Palestrina, Lassus and Victoria. The 13 singers produce a beautifully balanced sound and are likely to become worthy competitors for the Tallis Scholars. (Allan Kozinn)
