Festival Masterclass II: Dame Felicity Lott

The first event in our French Song Day could not be given by a more appropriate artist. The French have claimed Dame Felicity Lott as one of their own. In recognition of her extraordinary service to French music, the French government awarded her the titles ‘Officier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres’ in 1990 and ‘Chevalier dans la Légion d’Honneur’ in 2001.
Today she provides our international Young Artist duos with insight and experience, working with them as they explore the treasure trove of French song.

Concerning Dame Lott's Hahn translation: As far as my French knowledge goes, "aimer bien" is more a casual "like" in English. So I have interpreted this song always as a serenade to an unrequited love. If anyone can give me a definitive translation or explanation of this line, yes please! I'm performing this song myself soon.
