William Byrd

Gramophone Editor’s Choice

Retire my soul [has] a fond, Werther’s Original hue that goes on to infuse the whole programme… a deeply moving performance of his Mass for Four Voices… some of the richest singing I have heard from this ensemble.

Up to De Standaard

Stile Antico tackles the sophisticated counterpoint with the flawless technique we have come to expect… with constantly changing colour and intensity which lend the prayers a deeply human urgency.

Byrd in Le Soir

One of the great interpreters… The disc explores the music of Byrd’s last years with purity, clarity, and a beautiful balance.

The Times hails new album

Stile Antico splendidly showcase Byrd’s intense imagination, exuberance and general magnificence… tonal variety, expressive warmth and terrific ensemble panache.

Josquin des Prez

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.
