About

The Earth Child

A tribute to Katherine Mansfield on the centenary of her death.

In remembrance of Katherine Mansfield, whose death occurred in Paris on January 9, 1923. The album is a flowing musical tribute to her memory, and launches the exciting duo of German-based soprano Natasha Te Rupe-Wilson and pianist Somi Kim. Includes the world premiere recording of settings of five Mansfield poems composed by Jennings; the ravishing La chanson d'Eve of Gabriel Fauré, Parisienne contemporary of Mansfield, here given a performance that goes right to the top of available recordings; and Jennings' settings of Ursula Bethell's whimsical poems about gardens.
