Felicity Lott, Graham Johnson - Favourite English Songs
Review by Margaret Whitehead
Felicity Lott and Graham Johnson's album "Favourite English Songs" is a delightful collection of classic and lesser-known English art songs. Lott's soprano voice is rich and expressive, and she brings a nuanced interpretation to each piece, whether it's the haunting beauty of "The Salley Gardens" or the playful humor of "I'm Called Little Buttercup." Johnson's piano accompaniment is equally impressive, providing a sensitive and dynamic support to Lott's vocals. The duo's chemistry is evident throughout the album, and their musical partnership is a true joy to listen to. "Favourite English Songs" is a must-have for any lover of English art song, and a testament to the talent of these two exceptional musicians.
