Multi-award winning and four times Grammy nominated British vocal ensemble, Stile Antico, present the second in a trilogy celebrating major anniversaries of great composers of The Renaissance. The mesmerising music of William Byrd, performed by a leading voice in the early choral music world, celebrating Byrd's 400th Anniversary in 2023.
"[Stile] splendidly showcase Byrd's intense imagination, exuberance and general magnificence, especially when the composer's vocal lines spin off into repeated phrases, tumbling over each other in rapturous cascades...whatever the dimensions and forces used, our spirits are lifted by Byrd's powerful art and the singers' tonal variety, expressive warmth and terrific ensemble panache."
