"My Garden: Songs for Soprano & Piano" is a captivating collection of works performed by the renowned soprano Felicity Lott, released under the Hyperion label in May 1997. This album is a delightful exploration of the floral theme in classical vocal music, spanning a variety of genres including opera, choral, and classical pieces. With a duration of just over an hour, it offers a rich and diverse listening experience.
The album features a beautiful selection of songs, including works by composers such as Johannes Brahms, Gabriel Fauré, and Reynaldo Hahn. Felicity Lott's exquisite soprano voice brings life to pieces like "Mein Garten," "Jasminenstrauch," and "Die Blume der Ergebung," showcasing her exceptional range and expressive power. The album also includes lesser-known gems like "Le mariage des roses" and "Toutes les fleurs," providing a unique blend of familiar and new repertoire.
Lott's interpretation of these floral-themed songs is both nuanced and evocative, making "My Garden" a standout in her discography.
