Stile Antico

A rich and enticingly varied journey through some of the most outstanding music of the Renaissance, from the distinctive and exquisite sound-world of Tudor and Jacobean England, through the fervour of the Flemish masters, to the polychoral fireworks of Vivanco and Praetorius. And from our own time, John McCabe’s Woefully arrayed, a tour-de-force written to a mediaeval text especially for Stile Antico.

“The real test of musicians whose work you’ve loved on recordings is whether they sound as good in person… Stile Antico passed that test with a perfectly exquisite performance”
