It's been
eleven years since I made my first classical
record, at the age of twelve, and seven years
since I released my first fusion album, The
Violin Player. Looking back, I can
hardly believe how much has happened since then.
When I first started out on a new path, creating
a new type of music, I had no idea whether anyone
would like what I was doing or not. So I was
overwhelmed to discover that, in fact, millions
of people all over the world agreed with me
that the violin could be a contemporary instrument,
capable of far more than repeating standard
classical repertoire. I have continued to play,
and will always love, classical music - it is
my heritage. But I will also always want to
experiment, to discover new musical experiences,
and I can only thank all the people out there
who have come with me on my musical adventure
so far for their support. This is just the beginning,
I can promise you !

Vanessa-Mae
needs no introduction as the world's favourite
violinist. From her roots as a child prodigy
recording and performing concertos by Beethoven,
Tchaikovsky and Mozart, she rose to international
stardom in 1995 with her ground-breaking
fusion album The
Violin Player. Since then she
has uniquely continued to record both mainstream
classical repertoire and her own brand of
pop fusion music, in the process achieving
over 40 platinum awards for her album sales
all over the world. A busy touring artiste,
she has new visited 48 countries with her
own world tours, covering Europe, Russia,
the Middle East, Asia, the Americas and
Australasia, while her television specials
have been broadcast in over 100 countries.
