Beautiful songs, performed perfectly
Matthew Mansfield | Southeast Michigan, United States | 03/23/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Felicity Lott, accompanied by piano, performs 19th century songs from a variety of composers. Lott's voice is astonishingly clear and pure. One hears only the perfect portrayal of the song without any hint of breathing or effort. She makes it possible to enjoy the soprano as the paragon of the human voice.All the songs are pretty but the several Saint-Saens melodies are a hightlight, especially "Soiree en Mer." Victor Hugo's wonderful ideas and words add to the pleasure. Imagine how wonderful it would be if contemporary culture offered a popular form of art in which composers put music to recent poems. Thanks to the 19th century we know."
