Notes
This delightful recital of Strauss Songs by Dame Felicity Lott focuses on songs composed between 1885 and 1901, the years of Strauss’ richest song-writing genius.
Partnered by her long-time collaborator, Graham johnson, Dame Felicity sings various Nocturnes and Fantasies, songs about Flowers, and then, grouped as "Valedictions and Lullabies", some of Strauss’ best-known songs, including Allerseelen and Muttertändelei. Following "Girls In and Out of Love" (including Winterweihe and Cäcilie) gives way to the three Ophelia sonf from 1918.
The album concludes with one his best-loved songs ’Morgen’. This is the last of the four Op.27 wedding-gift songs for his wife, Pauline de Ahna: "...breathless rapture turned into music, one of the great songs of the world ..." [Michael Kennedy 2003]

Reviews
Re-issue of the Month
“… Lott was still at her peak when these recordings were made in 2002, and has a background of great affinity with the Strauss muse...Her voice and phrasing are still at their glorious finest, and so is her partnership with Johnson. The result is a magical recital, naturally recorded.”
Gramophone magazine – October 2012
"... Dame Felicity Lott sings these 26 songs as well as one is likely to hear them. She has all the requirements - a gorgeous sound, elegant phrasing, and a total command of dynamics, including some ravishing pianissimo high notes. She has the ideal Strauss sound - a pur tone never marred by too much vibrato or breathiness. I enjoyed this immensely Graham Johnson offers superb playing ..."
Richard Sininger - American Record Guide - September/October 2013
"... There’s simply no escaping it: Lott is one of the giants of singing in our lifetime, we aref fortunate to havehere, and this CD is one of her many treasurable moments."
Lynn René Bayley - Fanfare - November/December 2012
"... this is singing as it should be, so many planes of ability above what passes for it in popular culture. A must for connoisseurs of the musical voice"
