Editorial Reviews

This might just be the Hildegard CD you're having if you're having only one. Unlike CDs by the better-known Sequentia and Gothic Voices--all superb and highly recommended--here we get Hildegard sung by one voice, that of the lovely Rosa Lamoreaux, whose natural, warm, unaffected, but dramatically involved presentation keeps the listener riveted. She is supported by Tina Chancey and Scott Reiss (known collectively as Hesperus), who entwine the vocal lines with music for recorders, hammered dulcimer, vielle, viola da gamba, and other instruments--as well as performing three solos. Recorded in a soft-focus acoustic, this disc surrounds you with delicacy, devotion, and elegance--much the way Hildegard might have wanted it. Highly recommended to all lovers of beautiful music. --Robert Levine

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Luscious Hildegard collection

I own several Hildegard CDs and if this was the only one I could have I'd be extremely happy with it.
The instruments are acoustic not electronic as on some of the other versions, but it is much less
sparse sounding than the other traditional, acoustic versions I've heard.

The sound is rich and angelic and lush. I'd have to go back and listen to all my other versions
before passing final judgment, but I'm pretty sure this would rank as my favorite of the lot.

If you love Hildegard, you will undoubtedly NOT be disappointed if you buy this CD.

Angelic Music by angelic singers. I highly recommend this for tuning in to your inner BEing. This music was written almost 800 years ago. If you are into the Fantasy Genre you might like this. This IS the middle-ages. Thank you Luminous Spirit, this is a truly awesome cover.

Very soothing and relaxing- great for listening to anytime and when you want prayerful music. Its a feel good music- good for the soul. I love St. Hildegards compositions and the singer on this one does a marvelous job- very sweet and angelic sounding. I have three of St. Hildegards composition CDs as well as numerous books of hers. An Amazing Saint!!

As with ALL of Hildegard's music, GORGEOUS AND DIVINELY INSPIRED, I love this CD. Only wishing I could get VLC to play it as part of my playlist! Probably my fault cuz have trouble understanding how to use that program/feature! I had a stroke and brain's damaged! :(

Couldn't be happier with this cd. It lives up to the same excellent standards of other von Bingen cds that we have.
