This 2007 box combines three of
Vanessa-Mae's albums from the mid-'90s:
The Violin Player,
Storm, and
The Classical Album 1. The first two give a pretty good idea of what
Vanessa-Mae is all about: a new spin on the old instrument and its music, and fiery mad skills. She worked with producers
Mike Batt and
Andy Hill in composing and arranging the music, which combines elements of pop, new age, dance, jazz, and classical to appeal to world-wide, crossover audience. Not only does
Vanessa-Mae play violin, she also sings on the
Donna Summer song "I Feel Love."
The Classical Album 1 is straight-up classical works, played with passion and energy.
