Stile Antico

Stile Antico is an acclaimed British ensemble renowned for its masterful and expressive performances of Renaissance polyphony. Formed in 2001, the group consists of some of the finest young singers in the UK, who come together without a conductor to deliver performances that are often noted for their blend and tuning. Their dedication to Renaissance music is clear through their discography which features a treasure trove of Renaissance works, paying homage to the luminaries of that era such as William Byrd and Josquin Des Prez. Stile Antico's approach to music is characterized by deep scholarly insight into the pieces they perform, ensuring historical authenticity while also bringing fresh interpretations to well-trodden repertoire.

The ensemble's recordings have been met with international praise, contributing to a revival of interest in Renaissance sacred and secular works. Their album "The Golden Renaissance" delves into the rich tapestry of music by Byrd and Josquin, revealing the intricate beauty of sacred compositions like "Salve Regina a5" and "Mass for Four Voices: V. Agnus Dei". Stile Antico has also ventured into thematic recordings with albums such as "A Spanish Nativity", "In a Strange Land", and "From the Imperial Court", which showcase their versatility and storytelling through music, connecting the past to the present with their evocative and informed interpretations. As Stile Antico celebrates their craft, their music continues to be a conduit through which the opulence and devotion of the Renaissance period are vividly brought to life for contemporary audiences.
