Catherine Bott

Catherine Bott is a British singer and broadcaster. Following her studies at The King's High School For Girls and Guildhall School of Music and Drama, with Arthur Reckless, she began her career as a member of Swingle II, successors to the baroque-jazz crossover group The Swingle Singers. After two years she left to begin a solo career, specialising at first in medieval, renaissance and baroque music. She recorded extensively, for example as Dido in Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, with the choir of King's College, Cambridge conducted by Stephen Cleobury in Bach's St. John Passion, as Venus in John Blow's Venus and Adonis with Philip Pickett, and in Monteverdi's L'Incoronazione di Poppea with Sir John Eliot Gardiner. She also enjoyed a sideline as a studio singer, much in demand to record solos on soundtracks for George Fenton, Trevor Jones and Craig Armstrong, among others. She was the singing voice of Elizabeth Bennet in BBC TV's much-admired 1995 production of "Pride and Prejudice", as Colin Firth's Mr Darcy looked on. From Wikipedia (
