Emma Kirkby in Händel and Pergolesi…



Youtube is quite fantastic sometimes! About Emma Kirkby at Wikipedia se here, and her homesite here.

I also searched on Hildegard von Bingen. To the following video it stood:
"Hildegard was a remarkable woman, a 'first' in many fields. At a time when few women wrote, she produced major works of theology, music and visionary writings. She used the curative powers of music and natural objects for healing. Her story is an inspirational account of an irresistible spirit and vibrant intellect overcoming social, physical, cultural and gender barriers."
