The performances are second to none, rivetingly presented with all the skill of master musicians who have been doing this for years—the miracle is that they are all young, and yet still are able to penetrate the essence of these wonderful works.

Passion & Resurrection is to be welcomed both for its skilled execution, and for clever programming… Highlights include Stile Antico’s soaring, cathedral-like harmonic layerings on Tallis’s O Sacrum Convivium and the joyous, cascading repetitions of Gibbons Hosanna to the Son of David

Stile Antico represents the future of serious, unhyped, technically polished, stylistically attuned, and musically affecting choral performance.

In the middle of the CD is John McCabe’s Woefully Arrayed, written for Stile Antico in 2009. It’s the group’s first venture into contemporary music, and it’s brought off with the same level of insight and tonal richness that Stile Antico brings to centuries-old material… Another strong entry in the annals of this immensely talented group.

This is an outstanding recording on every level. Faultlessly produced and engineered by the Harmonia Mundi team of Robina Young and Brad Michel, it’s an album that consistently moves the heart and delights the ear.

Everything about this disc is outstanding: the music, the recorded sound, the artwork, the documentation and, of course, the performances. This is another very impressive achievement by Stile Antico.
