The Mirror Pool was Lisa Gerrard's first solo album, released in 1995 (one year before the release of Spiritchaser, the last work Dead Can Dance put out before disbanding in 1998).

Overview

The Mirror Pool contains "Persian Love Song", a traditional piece from Shiraz in southern Iran, that Lisa Gerrard arranged, and "Sanvean" co-written by Andrew Claxton. These two songs were previously performed in concert by Dead Can Dance and included on their 1994 live album Toward the Within. "Largo" is a composition by Handel. Gerrard recorded the first four songs and "Glorafin" with the Victorian Philharmonic Orchestra. Other musicians who contributed to this album include Dimitry Kyryakou, Pieter Bourke (who later collaborated with Gerrard extensively on Duality), John Bonnar, and Jacek Tuschewski.
