The Abbess Hildegard is, of course, one of the peaks of the Western Canon. Here this crack Medieval ensemble performs her music old style and modernized, with electronics and other contemporary instrumentation. That's all good — but one worries about the "lighthearted video content" they promise. Neither the Benedictines nor this repertoire are known for their lightheartedness.
