Album Notes

Being a singer was something Lisbeth Scott only dreamed about now and then as a child. Raised as a classical pianist headed for a concert career practicing hours a day, she ran away to California as soon as she could and began to discover her voice. Someone heard her singing and playing piano for a modern dance class in the hills of Idyllwild and suggested her voice for a score by composer Hans Zimmer. That was all it took. Scott’s uniquely moving and shiver inducing voice has been heard on literally hundreds of films. John Williams wrote a five minute solo specifically for her in the score for Spielberg’s film “Munich.” She was the featured vocalist and co-lyricist for the John Debney score to the film “The Passion of the Christ.” She was the featured vocalist and songwriter for the Disney film “The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe” and will again appear on the new “Prince Caspian.” While her film work was gaining momentum, Scott was busy honing her craft as an artist in her own right. She recorded and produced four critically acclaimed CDs of her solo work, two of which were named album of the year by New Age Voice. She was the featured vocalist and co-writer for Paul Schwartz’ RCA releases “State of Grace (I and II) and “Earthbound,” all of which spent more than 10 weeks on Billboard’s Top Ten list. Scott has toured the world as both a solo artist and a featured vocalist for Paul Schwartz, John Debney, Harry Gregson Williams, performing with a 100-piece symphony orchestra one night and accompanying her own singing on piano, guitar, harmonium and dulcimer the next.
