 Written on April 13, 2005 Summary: One big empty load of nothing If Vanessa Mae didn't exist, it wouldn't be necessary to invent her. I wonder what Vanessa Mae thinks of her "musical" accomplishments? What has she actually contributed to music? How has her technique and approach influenced our understanding of great music? hmmmmm????? I think I am asking the wrong questions. What I should be asking is: How has Vanessa Mae inluenced the popularity of mini skirts? Have a lot of dirty old men bought her CDs? How many 13 year old girls think she's "cool"? How has her manager's technique and approach to marketing this woman as a product influenced our understanding of the adbvertising industry? How many CDs can this girl make before the market is saturated? Should she consider breast enhancement? Should she bring out a range of cosmetics? Music? Vanessa Mae's CDs and her career have nothing to do with music!  Written on January 1, 2005 Summary: Talented lady You have to like classical to appreiciated her skills in violin...love her music. Written on June 15, 2004 Summary: What was I thinking? I've listened to this CD 3 times today, & this is what I have to say: John Tesh + Andre Rieu = Vanessa-Mae. Put another way: Crap with a beat. Great looking babe, though... Written on June 10, 2004 Summary: This is GREAT! Being a classical fan myself, I find this music wonderful. The only problem with classical music is that it can sometimes be slow. Vanessa-Mae's music is a mix between classical and contemporary music, and is spectacular. My favorite songs are Happy Valley and I'm Doun for Lack o Johnny, though all of them are great. They are all filled with emotion that makes it such a good CD. The music is dramatic, sad, and uplifting. I would highly recommend this CD. Written on March 19, 2004 Summary: Classical Music With A Pop Twist The violinist Vanessa Mae has been a recording artist and performer of classical music for a while now, but it was recently when I heard her version of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor which opens this album. Vanessa Mae combines the fiery passion and technical art of playing violin with the background music imitating the music that's hot today among the young- rock, pop, alternative, New Age. She is a revolutionary artist, who comes off like a rock star who can play classical. And does she ever play classical! She has mastered the art of the violin in its detailed facets- intensity, sorrow, beauty, drama. The cd opens with Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Bach, which Miss Mae has arranged for violin and a rather upbeat contemporary background music. It is nothing like the Stokowski orchestra arrangement but it is very effective and quite pleasurable to hear. Very intense and lively. It actually makes you want to dance. The Puccini opera Turandot contains the famous tenor aria "Nessun Dorma" which Vanessa Mae has arranged for violin. The romantic melody of the aria, the perfect balance of beauty and passion, are vividly displayed. The "softer" sounds of the violin are detailed and a perfect contrast to the stormy sounds of the Bach Toccata and Fugue that preceeds it. The rest of the music are colorful and engaging. There is a violin version of a tune from Scotland, more than likely a folk song. The Winter and Summer movements from Vivaldi's Four Seasons are excellent renditions and sure to amaze you with it's unconventional take. |
