Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Stile Antico

Ancient and modern Shakespeare settings, and music from Shakespeare's contemporaries given tender and passionate readings in a varied programme from Fretwork and Stile Antico.

A ravishing performance, with Shakespeare’s words delivered primarily through the prism of living composers.

The BBC Concert Orchestra and Barry Wordsworth were joined by Stile Antico, Jack Liebeck and Christine Rice in an exploration of the musical mind of fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. 

The British vocal ensemble Stile Antico made an appearance in Cleveland on Friday evening, 11 October, at the Cathedral of St John the Evangelist, as part of their current American tour to perform a brilliant live rendition of their most recent album The Phoenix Rising.

Entitled “Passion and Resurrection”, this exquisite concert from Stile Antico unfolded as an exploration of music written in response to Holy Week.One of the group’s most striking characteristics is their decision to work without a conductor, a move which can at times produce chamber music of the highest quality.

Premièring a new touring programme at their home church of St Sepulchre-without-Newgate, early music vocal ensemble Stile Antico treated us to a concert centred around the music of the Hapsburg courts of the late 15th and 16th centuries.

Für den Abschluss seiner Jubiläumstrilogie The Golden Renaissance zeitgleich zu eigenem 20. Geburtstag mit namensgebendem Polyphoniestil Palestrinas stellt das britische Vokalensemble erneut seine – symbolträchtige – Klasse unter Beweis.

Eine Feierstunde, die Josquins Vollkommenheit und der eigenen Vokalqualitäten des Ensembles huldigte.
