The eternal music of medieval mystic Hildegard von Bingen is brought together on this 2 CD 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 a CD which fills this void. Includes tracks with vocal group Cantillation.
