Dame Felicity Lott was one of Britain’s best-loved sopranos. In opera, her portrayals of the Strauss and Mozart roles in particular led to critical and popular acclaim worldwide. Her concert engagements took her to the major orchestras, working with Rattle, Haitink, Mehta, Previn, Masur, Welser-Möst, Sawallisch and Sir Andrew Davis.
A founder member of The Songmakers’ Almanac, Felicity appeared on the major recital platforms of the world and in June 2005 she celebrated the 30th anniversary of her recital debut at Wigmore Hall with which she had a particularly close association, receiving the Wigmore Hall Medal in 2010.
This boxed-set—issued in collaboration with Champs Hill Records and Wigmore Hall Live—celebrates Felicity Lott’s legacy as a brilliantly versatile art-song exponent: 10 bespoke programmes curated by long-time collaborator Graham Johnson.
