Description

|
|
|
This 2005 concert marked the 30th anniversary of Dame Felicity Lott and Graham Johnson's close relationship with Wigmore Hall. Both artists are admired worldwide, and this program is a truly varied collection of musical high points in which, as Johnson says "German lieder jostles with show music, and French mélodie stands next to folksong and cabaret." "Lott's wicked way with the lighter range of song … accounts for half the triumph of this disc. The rest stems from the pianist Graham Johnson's inventive programming.… This lovely disc is much more than a souvenir."—The Times "Flott-lovers should flock to lay their hands on this very live recital, focusing on Flott as chanteuse."—BBC Music "Lott sings a varied programme with polish, wit and style, giving younger singers stern lessons in diction and enunciation."—The Observer "A source of sound documents to cherish" (BBC Music); "The hall's acoustics are fresh and vivid" (The Independent); "An important souvenir of fine recital singing" (Gramophone). These are the kind of accolades the "Wigmore Hall Live" recording series has been receiving. This venue holds a unique place in London musical life and is an essential platform for the world's most sought-after soloists and chamber musicians. Every week a concert is broadcast on radio and the Internet, but with the launching of this recording label, Wigmore's great performances can be a revelation and a source of enduring pleasure to music lovers worldwide.
