Stile Antico celebrated their 20th anniversary with a concert at the Wigmore Hall on 12th May. The Arts Desk gave the concert 5*s in its review of the evening. Below are some quotes from the review:
“Palestrina’s Exultate Deo exultate’d and jubilate’d with unconstrained joy”
“a packed and enthusiastic audience”
“Early music group passes a milestone still at the top of its game”
“…sung with rich-hued warmth in the vocal sound, animation and vigour in the rhythms and an almost superhuman responsiveness between the singers. They masterfully covered the textural spectrum, from the fruity bottom-heavy chords of Clemens non Papa’s Ego flos campi to the stratospheric heights of the anonymous upper-voice Sicut lilium inter spinas.”
