Read Review

This collection of settings by composers including Palestrina, Guerrero, Gombert, Victoria and Lassus of words from the biblical Song of Songs was a sumptuous and beautifully performed highlight of last year’s choral releases. Gramophone’s Peter Quantrill praised the “quiet good taste and stylistically homogeneous approach of Stile Antico” – the young British vocal ensemble who have assembled and recorded this collection, and who demonstrate freshness of voice and an exquisite and sensitive approach to interpretation throughout the programme.
