About

Raumklang’s third production featuring the music of Hildegard of Bingen approaches the songs of this fascinating abbess in an unusual manner: Marie-Luise Hinrichs established a connection to the present day and transfered the flowing expanses of this music to her instrument, the piano. Almost as if Hildegard of Bingen’s music were intended for it, Marie-Luise Hinrichs improvises her own harmonies and melodies, invents new techniques – such as plucking the strings or tremoli on a single tone – allowing her “Songs for Piano” to emerge.

Marie-Luise Hinrichs writes: "I encountered Hildegard von Bingen for the first time in June 2005. I read the book Vision and was captivated by it. I immediately bought the songs, and a new dimension of music opened up to me."

The CD also includes George Gurdjieff’s Oriental piano music.
