Stile Antico's debut recording, which they are currently touring, as they approach their 10th anniversary, was a programme of 16th- and 17th-century polyphony written by some of England's greatest composers for the office of Compline: last of the daily hours and a form of night prayer.

"Outstanding consort singing" - Early Music Review

"Absolutely ravishing performances by Stile Antico, among the most promising vocal groups to come along in the last 20 years." Classics Today

"One of those alchemic discs with a total greater than the sum of its parts… This is as near-perfect a recording as you will find of this repertoire, and one that sounds as fresh as the Tallis Scholars did 25 years ago" Choir & Organ
