Hildegard / Ensemble Nu N Manigem Herzen CD

Inspired by Meister Eckhart, who described the "now" (German: Nun) in the mystical sense as a moment in which the past and future merge together, the ensemble gave itself it's name nu: n. On this release, the three musicians delve into the earliest surviving sources of the music, and give it a new sonic guise of our time.
