The Best of Lisa Gerrard presents key moments from twenty-five years, including Dead Can Dance, scores from numerous award-winning motion pictures such as Gladiator, Whale Rider, and Ali, and a selection from her acclaimed solo and collaborative albums. Each song on this 13-track retrospective was selected and sequenced by Gerrard, resulting in a seamless album that offers insight into her musical output.

Gerrard’s musical journey began in the early 1980s when she and fellow Australian Brendan Perry formed Dead Can Dance. Together they released over nine albums between 1984 and 1995 creating a timeless mix of world music influences, medieval chants, folk ballads, baroque styling, Celtic flavors and electronics. The international recognition Gerrard received has allowed her to expand her artistic vision, collaborating with famed composers as well as releasing a number of solo albums, including this year's The Silver Tree.
