Dame Felicity Lott was not only a remarkable soprano, whose vocal mastery and luminous timbre were admired by all, but also a woman full of humour and wit, whose proverbial kindness made her one of the most beloved and respected singers in the music world. Her impeccable diction and deep insight into poetry made her an essential interpreter of the lied and art song repertoire, and her stage presence was perfectly suited to light opera, particularly French comic opera. Her long career is studded with essential recordings, which we revisit with nostalgia in this collection ranging from Purcell’s odes to Ravel’s mélodies, via Offenbach’s operettas and Mozart’s sacred music. This anthology stands as a vibrant tribute to 'La Grande Dame' of song, whose unique voice and radiant spirit will forever echo in our hearts. .
