The acclaimed medieval music ensemble recorded a stunning, highly authentic interpretation of the 12th-century German abbess's sacred vocal compositions. The pristine acoustic environment captures the soaring, monophonic Gregorian chants with incredible clarity, emphasizing the remarkably complex, ecstatic melodic leaps inherent in von Bingen's writing. The project played a significant role in popularizing early choral music among modern classical and ambient listening audiences.
