I have ordered a couple of your von Bingen’s recordings to see what her “some kind of chant” is all about.

Got the Hildegard von Bingen’s recordings today. Interesting. Pleasant. Hugely talented. Very tasteful. Still it is not my cap of tea. Surely my opinion shall be irrelevant to anybody who like this music but my sentiment was that I was listening a great lyrical interlude for some kind of opera and the next composition will be something different. Unfortunately there was nothing different at the whole CD. All “songs” are in way very similar. The expressive methods are very narrow and each psalm has near identical structure. I felt that I hear one and was pretty much not able to hear any differences between the next songs on CD. In a way it reminds me music of Antonio Salieri – all compositions are remarkably alike. That is what I frequently distracted in early music. It has own charm but that charm is not what I personally am looking in music.
