The Hildegard is good (isn't that the one with *Gothic Voices*?) but
there are even better ones, especially the CD by Catherine Schroeder.
*Sequentia* has recorded 5 (I think) CD's with almost the complete works
but I feel Schroeder's contribution is the pinnacle.  "A Feather on the
Brath of God" of course is an incredibly beautiful and profound title,
taken from Hildegard's own texts.
