This Other Eden: A Landscape of English Poetry & Song, featuring mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately (BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist for the 201315 seasons) and her family and friends, expresses the pain of longing for home, of true not sentimental nostalgia, deep seated in the art of the British Isles, through its program of poetry and song, from Shakespeares Scepterd Isle, the blue remembered hills of Housmans Shropshire or Hardys Wessex, to the idyllic Ireland of Joseph Campbells I wish and I wish. On Samuel Barbers Dover Beach, the Navarra Quartet feature both individually and as a quartet.
"Eden" is a superb example of combining the spoken word and classical music. Kevin, Madeline and Kitty are an amazing family of actors andmusicians. The large booklet that comes with the CD is very readable as you listen. However, I suggest only listening to three or four of the cutsat one seating in order to take advantage of both the music and history associated with the choice. It's a lovely way to shut the door on thenoise of daily life. Those folks who haven't seen Kevin Whately in a movie or as Robbie Lewis in the TV series Inspector Lewis should reallytake time to watch some of the stories. By the way, check the piano work in "Eden."
