This is the vinyl edition of a very special album with Barbara Hannigan and Katia and Marielle Labèque. Arrangements of centuries-old vocal music in modern arrangements as well as new compositions for soprano, piano and live electronics can be heard on the album "Electric Fields". The meditative compositions of the medieval polymath Hildegard von Bingen are the starting point for this album. Hildegard's texts are written both in Latin and in the lingua igna
lingua ignota, which she invented, into the spiritual sphere. The popular love songs of two Italian Baroque composers, Barbara Strozzi and Francesca Caccini, also served as inspiration for this album. Several works by the American composer Bryce Dessner round off the eclectic program. Soprano Barbara Hannigan and pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque are accompanied by composer and performer David Chalmin on this captivating journey through meditative and atmospheric musical atmospheres
and evocative musical atmospheres. Together they create an intense and unique sound cosmos.
