Stile Antico’s Wigmore performance of ‘A Divine Hope’ was highly praised by MusicOMH.com’s reviewer, who wrote that “All the items were approached withe rigorously applied musical intelligence that this repertoire needs… an internalised understanding of the role of each voice line in fashioning the texture; an innate feel for the dynamic shape of phrases; an immersive familiarity with the text, and how its meaning can be brought out through volume, speed, attack and timbre.” The full review can be read on the MusicOMH site ..read more

Byrd praised in FT
Stile Antico
by Andrew
