On sale -30%Throwing a bridge between great female musicians of the past – Hildegard von Bingen, Barbara Strozzi, and Francesca Caccini –, and those of today – Barbara Hannigan (vocals) and pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque –, this album is very much in line with current trends. With the participation of American composer Bryce Dessner and the electronic stylings of David Chalmin on the synthesizers, this profoundly unique approach yields rather bewildering results. These Electric Fields are “forces of energy that surround charged particles, driven by magnetic attraction,” creating entirely new textures that reveal a modern face to musical motifs originating from the Middle Ages, the Italian Baroque, and even the present day. The lyrics mention divine and profane love alike while summoning the stars, infinite sources of mystery and mystic revelations. This singular musical program revolves around visionary abbess, painter, writer, philosopher, and healer of body and soul Hildegard von Bingen (circa 1098-1179), traversing in one fell swoop a wide array of genres including improvisation and post-minimalism, making for a very special voyage across confluences and convergences. © François Hudry/Qobuz
