Prelude - The Best of Charlotte Church brings together -- for the first time in a single collection - many of Charlotte's most powerful and captivating performances. With selections culled from each of her full-length albums as well as four newly recorded tracks, Prelude - The Best of Charlotte Church showcases the full range of her repertoire, serving as an ideal introduction to the artist as well as the ultimate Charlotte Church compilation.

Prelude - The Best of Charlotte Church reprises "Pie Jesu" (from Requiem by Andrew Lloyd Webber), the traditional Ulster air "My Lagan Love," "In Trutina" (from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff), César Franck's "Panis Angelicus," and "Amazing Grace" from Charlotte's debut album Voice Of An Angel. "Just Wave Hello," "La Pastorella" (from Soirées Musicales by Gioacchino Rossini), and the traditional Irish ballad "She Moved Through The Fair" are drawn from Charlotte Church. "Ave Maria" (adapted to the 1st Prelude of Johann Sebastian Bach) and "Dream A Dream - (Elysium)" (Charlotte's duet with Billy Gilman) were found originally on Dream A Dream. From Enchantment come "The Flower Duet" (composed by Leo Delibes with text by Edmond Gondinet and Phillipe Gille), Habañera" (composed by Georges Bizet), and "The Prayer" (duet with Josh Groban, composed by David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager). "All Love Can Be" was originally found on the movie soundtrack, A Beautiful Mind.
