Editorial Reviews

Hymns and sequences by the remarkable 12th-century Abbess Hildegard of Bingen are recorded here under the direction of Christopher Page, with Emma Kirby and Gothic Voices. Two of the eight pieces are solos while most are choral and a few have the support of a symphony as well. The title is indeed appropriate for this sacred vocal music. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats, All Music Guide All Music Guide

A Feather on the Breath of Godby Anonymous

July 07, 2006: For those who enjoy Medieval and, or liturgical music, Sister Hildegard's music is a beautious diversion at any time. This recording is well in keeping with its grand title, serving as an introduction to chant as well, particularly for those who have been frightened away by stranger medieval tunes which are a more acquired taste. Indeed one is transported to a different age, both peaceful, chivalrous and mournful. Hildegard's deep faith is evident through her music, and the perfomers demonstrate a genuine appreciation for the genre and these specific titles. This is a trip back in time that all can take with pleasure.

September 01, 2004: Never in my life did I think I would enjoy music such as this. I heard this recording playing in a music store. I have loved it ever since; truely transformational in it's beauty. It is so sensual even a secular person as such as myself can feel the heartfelt longing, love, and offering of devotion. I am always transported to a place and time of pastoral quietness while listening to this. It has been 14 years since I purchased this CD and it is still on my favorates list to play regularly. There is no symphonic accompanyment as stated in the top review, it is all done with a drone in the backround to keep with it's historical prospective; it couldn't sound any better!
