Ellen Oak sings from her heart and Hildegard's., August 17, 1999

This review is from: Harmony of Heaven (Audio CD)
Ellen Oak is a talented musician who has entered deeply into the spirit of Hildegard's mystical vision. There is no better solo rendering of Hildegard's music.

Good musical performance. I hoped better latin, January 13, 1999

This review is from: Harmony of Heaven (Audio CD)
Ellen Oak vocal soloist performance is remarkable, from music point of view. But if you consider liturgical chant was (and is) prayer, it's important to understand words. In our case, latin words. From that point of view, many songs are not good performed.

Hildegard's liturgical melodies unaccompanied, unadorned, September 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Harmony of Heaven (Audio CD)
"The songs on The Harmony of Heaven are everywhere exposed, and it is clear from the rich, courageous sound that Oak has lived with its naked and demanding nature for a long time. The beauty of her voice is sometimes warm, sometimes chilling, always filled with the passion of living. In its honesty, purity, and depth of understanding, this is the best recorded performance of hildegard we have."
