After the international success of “Vocation,” Marie-Luise Hinrichs again composed puristic impressions on songs by Hildgard of Bingen (1098–1179). She spans an arc to the present day and entrusts the flowing expanses of this music to her instrument, the piano. As if Hildegard of Bingen’s music was created for it, Marie-Luise Hinrichs improvises her own harmonies and melodies, devises new techniques – the plucking of the strings or tremolos on a single tone – and in this way lets her “piano songs” emerge. In addition, she performs compositions of the charismatic G. I. Gurdjieff, the founder of a spiritual system for the “inner evolution” of humankind. The award-winning pianist Marie-Luise Hinrichs has herself experienced the spiritual and healing effect of Hildegard of Bingen’s music. She conveys to today’s audience the especially intensive atmosphere of a mystical world of sound. Her playing is distinguished by an extraordinary sensitivity and an intimate, luminous sound. A subtle work of art that touches the soul!
