"What a marvelous thing.
This new record by Jeff Bird.
Reimagining the music of Hildegard von Bingen."
" Hildegard’s original is given a new impetus, a new direction, a living breathing embodiment of Bird’s Western visions and beyond. In one word: superb. And one of my favourite immersive experiences in a long time. The Devil it turns out, doesn’t always have the best tunes."
