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.
