The Spanish 'Golden Age' witnessed an astonishing musical flowering, worthy of Spain's newfound pre-eminence on the world stage. Focusing on works for Christmas and Epiphany, Stile Antico explores this glittering musical treasury, drawing together an irresistible mix of sumptuous polyphony and infectiously joyful folk dances. The centrepiece of the disc is the superbly rich and luminous 'Missa Beata Dei genitrix Maria' by Alonso Lobo. Interspersed between its movements are motets by Tomás Luis de Victoria, Francisco Guerrero and Cristóbal de Morales, an exuberant 'Ensalada' by Mateo Flecha and classic 'Villancicos' - Spain's answer to the traditional carol.
