The emotional force of these songs transcends formal perfection and vocal purity: it speaks through the harmonious and balanced interweaving of voices…

Stile Antico are brought out in their full intensity by the program… a recommended release.

As imaginatively conceived and exquisitely sung as one would expect… Superb performances that combine ensemble warmth with just enough grit to intensify the emotional edge. 

Stile Antico, the 12-strong ensemble whose name signals tonal purity, precision and musical intelligence…

Superb… as a survey of the beautifully wrought and moving church music of England’s hidden Catholics, this CD could hardly be bettered.

Stile Antico… sing with glowing perfection and textural precision

Stile Antico, as ever, excel in plangency… their sound is meltingly gorgeous.

The dozen voices of Stile Antico give achingly expressive performances of Elizabethan masterpieces…

The ensemble blends beautifully, so the harmonies seem to glow… an ecstatic performance.

Stile Antico sensibly brings a variety of pace to its performances… the singers inject plenty of Latin passion into their clear, English choral sound.
