Negative Positive
Title: Hildegard in Brief
Review: This is a four part DVD set--one part dramatic vignette of a few scenes from Hildegard's life (very well acted), one part interviews with scholars of Hildegard, one part interpretations of her artwork in a classroom setting, and one part performance of her 'Ordo Virtutem.' Before purchasing this DVD, I recommend reading a biography of Hildegard. This DVD is not a documentary of her overall life and work. To be fair, Hildegard's work spanned so many disciplines, it would be a difficult task to address all in depth. I personally wished to see more about her spirituality, and how it was influenced by her music.For those who are captivated by Hildegard, this DVD will fan your interest, but it's not the end of the road for serious seekers.
