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

July 04, 2009: In a world where twenty something pop stars and reality show hacks domminate the radio and tablod rags, this woman stands out. Vanessa Mae is a music podigey who has combind the worlds of techno, jazz and classical into an exciting fusion of music that sets the senses ablaze while at the same time offering something new to modern music. Her best of CD is a fantastic example of her work and showcases her talent as both a preformer and composer; giving 110% of her energy and talent to her work.

The other day I played the CD for some friends and they all said her music was very good and wanted to hear more. I hope Miss Mae will tour the East Coast soon.

I Also Recommend: The Violin Player, Storm.

August 22, 2003: The best of Vanessa Mae is "the Best" of Vanessa Mae. I have used "I Feel Love"; "Storm"; "Devil's Trill" and even "Destiny" as background for high energy Karate Demo Team performances. It captivates the audience immediately and everyone wants to know about the music. Fun, energizing with a few more relaxed pieces thrown into the mix which makes for a great CD. Highly recommend this CD to anyone that likes variety in their music.
