5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely divine., October 25, 1999

By 

Cristina Garcia ([e-mail]) (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hildegard von Bingen: Voice of the Blood (Audio CD)

"My husband and I first encountered this CD in our local library. It's one of those encounters that transformed our life. Listening to it almost daily, while we're getting ready for the day, while we're working on our computers, or while doing the dishes, has helped us have an experience of the divine no matter where we are or what we're doing. Ever since we were introduced to the work of St. Hildegard of Bingen, we have read quite a bit about her and her works and are truly grateful to this great soul for what she has given our world. This CD is a great introduction to the world of Hildegard, together with another fine CD, Feather on the Breath of God."

5.0 out of 5 stars Highest Quality Hildegard, September 27, 2005

By 

Billyjack D'Urberville (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hildegard von Bingen: Voice of the Blood (Audio CD)

Sequentia's entire series of Hildegard recordings is inspired, but there is a rather inarticulable quality to this cd that somehow soars even higher. It is apparently a result of the centrality of the Ursula stories, here musically illustrated, to Hildegard's entire conception of herself as a pledged virgin and artisan, and the freedom she found within that role to allow her gifts to fly as high as they could for the glory of God. Nor, in our terms, was it any sort of solo act: Hildegard stood quite consciously at the pinnacle of a vast supporting structure of devotion, prayer, sacred order and art.

Startlingly beautiful.

Among the highest achievements of culture- and unique in its piercing Heaven.

The sublime Sound you have been looking for.
