The Best of Vanessa-Mae
About this Artist
Editorial Reviews
Not your typical violin prodigy, Vanessa-Mae has ranged from the classics to crossover to pop, and The Best of Vanessa-Mae runs the gamut of the Singapore-born violinist's uncommon stylistic range. Beginning early, she made her first classical record at the age of 12, and then went on in her teen years to turn the classical world on its ear with a series of top-selling crossover releases. The Violin Player, Storm, and The Original Four Seasons propelled the young violinist to international stardom by offering switched-on versions of the classics along with new material. A three-disc set of her early classical recordings was released in 2000, and another pop album, Subject to Change, appeared in 2001. Now a seasoned 23-year-old performer, the dressed-to-kill virtuoso offers this "best of" collection, gathering highlights from her previous releases, including her take on familiar classical works (parts of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, "Nessun dorma"), classics-with-a-beat selections that fuse classical and dance styles ("Toccata and Fugue in D Minor," "Storm"), and original pop material ("Destiny," "I Feel Love"). All in all, it's a varied and catchy collection from one of classical crossover's most inventive voices. EJ Johnson, Barnes & Noble
