[ ABC Classics / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Friday 2 February 2007
The eternal music of medieval mystic Hildegard von Bingen is brought together on this album, part of the Atmospheres series from ABC Classics. Featuring a variety of world music instruments as well as singers and spoken tracks,
The Sacred Fire is sublime ambient music at its finest. Ever since the famous Hildegard recording Feather on the Breath of God (1981), the public has been very keen for recordings of her music, and finally there is an album which fills this void.
