Very interesting
Songs are ethereal. Story is well-done. Interesting staging for the monologue which covers Hildegard's childhood as well as her adult years spent in the convent. I have also ordered a book of her poems, meditations, etc. The DVD whetted my appetite for more....
Masterful Performance
Ms. Lynn Maxwell does a masterful performance and presentation of Saint Hildegard of Bingen's life with a focus on her latter years of life. Ms. Maxwell performs and sings original works written by this amazing German mystic who lived in the 11th century. The quality of the video presented is first-rate and really brings you into St. Hildegard's medieval world which Ms. Maxwell expertly weaves onto the screen with her production crew. St. Hildegard's writings are known for their visual quality, and Ms. Maxwell's video really captures that quality of greening light. If you want to experience St. Hildegard's musical work and teachings in a stunning visual style, look no further. I especially enjoyed the selected interviews which are also included on the DVD that allowed me to dive deeper into a scholar perspective on Saint Hildegard.
