Didn't SM-P do an Essay programme on Hildegard of Bingen? IIRC, it was very good.

This may be it.

A lot of the recordings listed here offer one or two Hildegard pieces in a mixed recital so may not be considered on Saturday? Unfortunately, the Stevie wishart recordings (other than the recent Hildegard are download only so I am not interested. I have a few recordings of Hildegard's music, not all satisfactory. I certainly took an instant dislike to Ensemble Belcanto's Ordo Virtutum, which I have played only. The complete Sequentia set looks to me to be the best buy, but at its low price will it have decent notes and above all texts and translations. althopugh SMP ios one opf my least favourite R3 presenters I will listen with ionterest to the programme.

[Richard Tarleton]

one composer with a relatively restricted œuvre, rather than a specific work?

Tess Knighton did something similar in her BAL Dowland Survey on 12 January 2013. His œuvre covers, er, 11 CDs

My Hildegard of Bingen library consists of the 8 CD set by Sequentia. I was looking at the weekend at my sister's copy of Fiona Maddocks' book on Hildegard.

I think that I'm also allergic to electro-pop Hildegard versions.

I'm wrong-footed by the male voices!

I might also have an allergy to the new age approach, too.

Barbara Thornton is amazing.

Non-prescription medication (meditation?) may be available to help you with your problems, beefy!

Me, too - but in a good way!

But away from canned lift Music, and incense sticks with pyramids, isn't this FANTASTIC Music!

SM-P at her considerable best, too.

Sort of Hilde drops her guard!
