The new CD of Arianna Savall, Petter Udland Johansen and their ensemble Hirundo Maris is anew and outstanding approach to the music of Hildegard von Bingen. It is entirely devoted to the beauty, emotion and spiritual depth of the music of this great composer, philosopher, and mystic and conveys the magic of her music in a truly affecting manner. The songs of Hildegard on this CD alternate with musical meditations newly written by Petter Udland Johansen to complement the emotional and atmospheric impact of the program.
