All of the music on this program celebrates the music and visions of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179). It is the last recording by the ensemble Anonymous 4, whose members were on the program, as they have been regularly for over 15 years.
While we were honored to share the premiere of this disc with our audience, we were more honored to be graced with the presence of these extraordinary women from the beginning of their career.
The recording is on Harmonia Mundi, and is CD# HMU 907327.
You may find out more about the ensemble at their web site:
