The Origin of Fire: Music and Visions of Hildegard von Bingen

Anonymous 4, Swiss Anonymous, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2005

Literary scholarship and musical prowess
At first, to be quite honest, this record did little for me: singing did not sound as enticing as in 11,000 Virgins, and there's very little music of Hildegard in it. Only 6 out of the 17 tracks have been set to music by her; opening and close hymns are not hers ...

Hildegard von Bingen: Symphoniae (Spiritual Songs) - Sequentia

Hildegard von Bingen, Sequentia

RCA, 1993

Great Introduction to Mystical Songs
This recording deserves a special place for what it has done to bring the works of Hildegarde before the public. Recorded in the late 80's, it led the way, as has Sequentia, in bringing such early music treasures as Hildegarde before the listening public. The ...

A to Z of Classical Music

Ernst Ottensamer, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Naxos, 2000

Great Tracks -- Great Value -- Great Book, Who Can Complain?
Naxos is a fabulous label -- you will not get samples of the best classical music through the ages at no better price. These tracks are as good as any of the over-priced major orchestras and in some cases better. This is a great starter set for a beginner or anyone ...

Hildegard von Bingen: Voice of the Blood

Hildegard of Bingen, Cologne Sequentia Ensemble for Medieval Music

RCA, 1995

Absolutely divine.
"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 ...

von Bingen: Celestial Harmonies

Hildegard Von Bingen, Summerly, ...

Naxos, 2008

Mystic Music
Yet another beautiful collection of songs of devotion in Latin, that send you soaring high, whether you are sitting quietly listening to them, or hearing them while you cook. What more could I say?

Hildegard von Bingen: Canticles of Ecstasy

Hildegard of Bingen, Cologne Sequentia Ensemble for Medieval Music, ...

RCA, 1994

Ecstatic Music, Ecstatically Performed.
I had first heard this performance of St. Hildegard of Bingen's "Canticles of Ecstasy" on sound cassette and loved it. The music is sublime. The female voices are heavenly, without a hint of sentimentality. When you listen to "Canticles of Ecstasy" you will know ...

Vision: The Music of Hildegard von Bingen

Hildegard von Bingen, Catherine King, ...

Angel Records, 1994

Medieval meets lounge
If Hildegard Von Bingen wrote music for a hip lounge, this would be it. Its amazing that music this old ( from the 1100's) can sound so wonderful and modern with the addition of modern instruments. It really energizes the old music I have couple of recordings of ...

Hildegard von Bingen: Heavenly Revelations

Hildegard of Bingen, Oxford Camerata, ...

Naxos, 1995

delightfully pure
for someone interested in early music this is a good place to start- von bingen's visions speak to us across nine centuries. liner notes are minimal, as is the case with most NAXOS titles, but lyrics in latin and english are provided, which is nice. oxford camerata is ...

Classic Chillout, Vol. 2

Various Artists

EMI Classics, 2004

Great Classical Spectrum
These cd's are a great set of varied classical music. Pavane is my favorite. Additionally, Classical Chillout 2 offers theme music from Harry Potter and it is very well done.

The Complete Hildegard von Bingen, Volume One: Symphony of the Harmony of Celestial Revelations
Hildegard of Bingen, Oxford Girls Choir [members of], ...

Celestial Harmonies, 1996

This first of four volumes of The Complete Hildegard von Bingen collection introduces listeners to a remarkable woman ahead of her time. Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) was born the tenth child to a noble family and was dedicated at birth to the church. At age three she began to have visions of luminous objects, but soon realized she was ...

A Medieval Christmas

Alfonso X (el Sabio), Anonymous, ...

Ex Cathedra Records, 1999

An Excellent Alternative
This is not a "run of the mill" Christmas CD. These pieces were written hundreds of years before Christmas Carols became popular. Plainsong chant and insturmental excellence abound. This cd even has medieval drumming. I listen to this one all year around.
