The vinyl release related to the 2023 production of Hildegard von Bingen at Kulturhaus Helferei is a unique edition realized through a partnership between Nils Amadeus Lange and Elise Lammer, with the Zurich label Czarnagora overseeing publication. The record features original cast members Catherine Schroeder and Mario Espinoza, and was specifically celebrated with a live concert and release event (Plattentaufe) at Kulturhaus Helferei on June 6, 2025.
This album was crafted as an extension of a performance piece developed in 2023, with Lange drawing inspiration from the life and work of Hildegard von Bingen. The vinyl, available for pre-order and digital streaming, represents both a document and an artistic reinterpretation of that stage production, produced in a close collaboration between the artists and the supporting label. Nils Amadeus Lange and Elise Lammer have ensured the release maintains a continuing dialogue between performance, audio, and historical research, with the edition designed for both collectors and followers of experimental music and contemporary performance.
The release has garnered attention for its interdisciplinary approach and the commitment to honoring Hildegard von Bingen’s legacy through a modern, experimental lens. The performing artists, along with the label Czarnagora, emphasize the exclusivity of the vinyl and its alignment with live reinterpretation events held at key cultural venues in Zurich.
