O Nobilissima Viriditas: The Complete Hildegard von Bingen, Vol. 3
Sinfonye, founded in 1987 by Stevie Wishart, was conceived as an  ensemble combining improvisatory skills derived from traditional music with  performance practices recreated from historical research, with a particular  interest in repertories sung, inspired or composed by women.Sinfonye has  performed throughout Europe, North America, and Australia, and their  recordings have been acclaimed for their innovative approach to the  medieval repertory.Writes Stevie Wishart: "We welcome this opportunity  to record the complete works of Hildegard and to recreate the imaginative  spirit of this remarkable composer. For Hildegard, it seems music was a way  for mortals to experience something of heavenly, or spiritual ecstasy, and  it is perhaps this desire which we can most clearly empathize with today.  Hers is a creative spirit which soars high, as much in our time as in her  own."
