Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

NPR has always had a great ear for quality music, and Stile Antico is no different. The 12 young members of what has been called “the jewel of English a cappella singing” stopped by NPR’s Tiny Desk program to record an amazing performance, which was recently posted online. Here’s a link to the article; check out this unique a cappella experience and Stile Antico’s newest record, Puer Natus Est, which just came out on the top-notch classical label, Harmonia Mundi:

“Stile Antico’s newest program centers on Thomas Tallis’s magnificent seven-part ‘Christmas’ Mass, based on the festive plainchant “Puer natus est” (‘A boy is born’).
