How many really great vocal groups can England produce?

Many, apparently, the latest contender being Stile Antico, a young but much-heralded ensemble that will appear at Calvary Presbyterian Church this weekend.

On their docket is music spanning two centuries, including a fair bit from the golden age of English vocal polyphony — Taverner, Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons — all commemorating Holy Week.
