Hildegard von Bingen: Feather on the Breath of God - Gothic Voices

‘I was spellbound by both the music and the presentation … and have remained so ever since … a jewel in Hyperion's crown’ (Gramophone)

‘A wonderful evocation of Mass being celebrated by St Maximinus, painted in Hildegard's wonderfully perfumed language’ (BBC Record Review)

‘These hymns and sequences, most expertly performed and recorded, have excited much acclaim – and rightly so. A lovely CD’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)
