Dame Felicity Lott

Soprano

Dame Felicity Lott

The English soprano Dame Felicity Lott, universally known as "Flott" was born in Cheltenham on May 8th 1947.

Dame Felicity's special love belongs to the song repertoire. She enchants with songs of Strauss, Schubert, Schumann and Brahms as well as with the masters of french Mélodies. As might be expected, she is also very fond of English songs, particularly those of Benjamin Britten.

Felicity Lott was awarded the title Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Government. She was made a CBE in the 1990 New Year Honours and in 1996 was created a Dame Commander of the British Empire.

Offenbach: La Belle Helène

Offenbach: La Belle Helène

Live Recording from The Théâtre Musical De Paris, Châtelet 2000


Dame Felicity Lott, Yann Beuron, Michel Sénéchal & Laurent Naouri

Les Musiciens Du Louvre & Chorus Of The Musiciens Du Louvre, Marc Minkowski

Staged and costumed by Laurent Pelly, with sets by Chantal Thomas and choreography by Laura Scozzi , this production of La Belle Hélène never forgets for one moment that Offenbach’s parody of the origins of the Trojan war -clearly recognisable in his day as a satire on the moral laxity of Second Empire high society- is, above all, a supreme manifestion of his comic genius. From start to fi nish it combines a musically superb performance with a stream of visual humour that flows from Pelly’s core idea that the action all takes place in the imagination of a sleeping, sex-starved, suburban housewife.

Dame Felicity Lott is magnifi cent as the woman who gets into bed beside her somnolent old husband and dreams of being the most beautiful woman in the world, entangled in amorous adventures with the virile young Paris, tastily portrayed by Yann Beuron. And just as dreams do not respect the normal limitations of logic, time and place, so her nighttime fantasies combine the everyday with the mythical, and muddle up Greece, ancient and modern.

Mahler:

Symphony No. 4 in G major

Felicity Lott (soprano)

Mozart:

Don Giovanni, K527 Overture


BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra, Kurt Sanderling

Kurt Sanderling has recently been featured on BBC Legends with his recording of Mahler Symphony No.9 (BBCL42322) which received excellent reviews.

The follow-up is Mahler Symphony No.4, which unlike Mahler Symphony No.9, has never been recorded by Sanderling either in the studio or in a broadcast recording. This is a new addition to his discography.

Soprano Felicity Lott is one of the most celebrated and loved singers today and this has been recognized on the packaging by making a double bill of both artists.

Superb stereo sound from the BBC Studios in Manchester.

Kurt Sanderling, who still lives in Berlin in his 90's, represents one of the great conductors of the past - he was joint conductor of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra during Evegeny Mravinsky's sensational years and has since enjoyed a cult status in London, Salzburg, New York etc.

“…many will welcome the opportunity to time travel, not least for a treasurable contribution from the young Felicity Lott. Sanderling offers no interpretative novelties. His music-making incarnates a dedication and sincerity we are in danger of losing.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2009

Quatuor Schumann

New transcriptions by Christian Favre, pianist of the Quatuor Schumann: "I love singing with these marvellous musicians and I am so grateful to have had the chance to sing Isolde's Liebestod: I can't imagine that it would have happened otherwise! And I love the Wesendonck Lieder which I hadn't sung since my student days: I think they work very well in Christian Favre's arrangement."
