"Patricia Van Ness can
stand
up well to Hildegard
-- and
that nine centuries later. The music functions as a bridge
between the
times. Both women, the nun and the contemporary American
composer,
perfectly complement each other; the CD breathes the breath of the
sound world of the twelth century with its highly symbolic texts by
both composers. For example,
“Dominationes” from the Nine
Orders
is medatative, ecstatic and ethereal, surprisingly clear and beautiful
as offered by Tapestry. The vocal ensemble masters its
repertoire
so
brilliantly that this old and spiritual sound must enchant the
listener. In short: a pleasure!
