The Prince of Music
Keble Early Music Festival
Keble College Chapel, Oxford, United Kingdom
David Weininger, The Boston Globe (1 January, 2010)
This was, hands down, the best recording I heard all year. Stile Antico is a young but highly accomplished early music chorus from the UK. Their third album presents opulent settings of some of the Bible’s most sensuous texts, from composers both familiar and obscure. The ensemble’s blend and balance are wonderful, but it’s the 12 singers’ vivid and expressive way with texts that makes these performances special. I’m impatiently awaiting their next project.
