Felicity Lott, the renowned soprano known for her exquisite performances in opera, choral, and classical genres, presents her captivating album "Summertime." Released on May 3, 2010, under The Sound Corporation label, this album is a testament to Lott's exceptional vocal prowess and her ability to breathe life into a diverse range of compositions.
"Summertime" is a carefully curated collection of 30 tracks, each a masterpiece in its own right. The album opens with the iconic "Summertime" and closes with "The Lord Bless You & Keep You," spanning a duration of 1 hour and 14 minutes.
