“Vanessa-Mae almost single-handedly kick started classical crossover
back in 1995, breaking through with a rousing rendition of Bach's
'Toccata in D Minor'. Ten years later it's the track that stirs the
audience.”
SoundGenerator May 2005
TECHNO-ACOUSTIC FUSION is how her style is described.
Violinist Vanessa-Mae made a name for herself as Great Britain’s most
successful musical export of the year after a
multi-platinum sales and chart standing in over twenty countries,
while a BRIT Award nomination as best female artist marked her as the
first instrumentalist and classical artist to have ever received the
honour.
Her first EMI album, The Violin Player, at age 16 hit number 11 on the
British charts and sold over two million copies.
One selection from the album, "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor", became a
hit single for Vanessa-Mae and remained on the top 40 charts for several
weeks.
Vanessa-Mae supported The Violin Player with a worldwide tour very aptly
entitled Red Hot. She has performed in Vietnam, Singapore, the United
States, Poland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and a host of other
countries.
Aside from having shared concert billing with such notable artists as
Luciano Pavarotti, Annie Lennox, Rod Stewart,
Janet Jackson, and Status Quo, she has received a variety of
honours commemorating her contribution to the world of music.
Some of Ms Mae’s outstanding performances: London Philharmonic, London’s
Royal Albert Hall, Berlin Philharmonic, London’s Barbican, Reunification
Concert Hong Kong, London’s Buckingham Palace, London’s Hyde Park (with
L Pavarotti), London’s Royal Festival Hall.
