Vanessa-Mae Vanakorn Nicholson, known professionally as Vanessa-Mae (in Chinese: 陳美, Chén Měi), is an internationally known British pop and classical musician, especially noted for her violin skills. Her music style is self-described as "violin techno-acoustic fusion", as several of her albums prominently feature the techno style.
Vanessa-Mae was born in Singapore to a Thai father (Varaprong Vanakorn, who is now a Thai monk) and a Chinese mother (Pamela Tan). After her parents separated, her mother married Briton Graham Nicholson, and the family moved to England when Vanessa-Mae was four years old, but they separated many years ago. She grew up in London and is a British citizen. She was educated at the independent Francis Holland School in London.
Vanessa-Mae, born 27 October 1978, coincidentally shares her birthday with famed violinist Niccolò Paganini, who was born 196 years earlier on 27 October 1782.
Vanessa-Mae began playing piano at the age of three and violin at five.
She was particularly famous in the United Kingdom throughout her childhood making regular appearances on television (for example on Blue Peter) mostly involving classical music and conservative style. According to Guinness World Records, she is the youngest soloist to record both the Beethoven and Tchaikovsky violin concertos, a feat she accomplished at the age of thirteen.[1] During this time she attended the Francis Holland School in central London.
Vanessa-Mae made her international professional debut at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival in Germany in 1988, and also during 1988 made her concerto debut on stage with the Philharmonia Orchestra in London.
On entering adolescence Vanessa-Mae broke away from her traditional classical influences and became known for her flashy, sexy style appearing in music videos in stylish outfits. Her first pop-style album, The Violin Player, was released in 1995. She appeared on the 1997 Janet Jackson album The Velvet Rope playing a violin solo on the song "Velvet Rope".
She performed in the interval of the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest in Birmingham.
Vanessa-Mae most often uses one of two types of violins, a Guadagnini acoustic violin or a Zeta Jazz model electric violin. The Guadagnini was made in 1761, and was purchased by her parents at an auction for £150,000. It was stolen in January 1995, but was recovered by the police two months later. She once fell and broke it, but it was repaired.
In addition, she uses one of two Zeta Jazz Model electric violins, one of which is white and the other one of which features decals of the U.S. flag. She has also been using a silver-gray Zeta Jazz Model electric violin since 2001. In addition to these two main violins, she sometimes buys violins and resells them later, giving the proceeds to charity. Occasional media appearances show her to be using a clear acrylic electric violin made by Ted Brewer.

I signed up for viloin because of THIS song and bc of HER! 8 YEARS AGO. Now this is my last year and I got to play this song for the last competition.
Dreams come true
This young lady is a phenomenon!!! I hope she never sees the criticisms, but if she does, I hope she understands that all great and talented individuals receive an onslaught of harsh criticism.
I love this, she took Violin to a whole new level!! SHe is AmaZing. Her playing is so elite and she is a PRO!!! Really knows her craft, that is not easy, much respect to Vanessa Mae
I read a bit about Vanessa mae, very talented and played piano from the age of 3 and violin at 5. I can't believe anyone would make a mockery of this amazing piece in such a way. Fireworks, techno, half naked girls strutting and very nearly stage diving? This looks a metal "show" and not an actual piece of genius.
Relentlessly impeccable&perfect performance!
You are so awesome
la musica anche se antica, quando è un capolavoro si presta alle più svariate interpretazioni, bravissima la Mae, ma geniale Vivaldi.
fantasztikus !!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is amazing!Total GODESS😍

Воре воре Ванеса !
Sir music is music new or old original or remake it's one's love to feal it in his or her way so stf and just liston and enjoy ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@axeguru22 What does "finesse the guitar string" mean? I've never tried an electric, so I have no context.
anyone know where to find the backing track???
had no luck so far..
way to mess up a perfect piece.
people these days cant even listen to a beautiful song with out messing it up.
@mvlro not really is because she keeps playing while she falls ...
If Cardi B rapped to it, the performance would be even classier.
she didn't get confused bc she isn't playing
PLAYBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK HORROOORRR JALADA PALERA!!!!!!!!!!!
am i the only person who laughed when she fell?
Probably. Not many could handle it so smoothly even if they were Only walking. Few ever come near such perfection in their craft. Maybe you're kind of , ummm...a dope?
@WhiteCrownlessQueen yeah I also prefer original version.
@Tomthetuba666 LOL
another item for the soldiers of Christ agaisnt devilish world
jaaja se cayó
@mvlro You know you can't really fake play music. You have to play it one way or another.
First thing: It's not storm, but PRESTO;
Second: she's just dancing here;
Third: this is a playback... sad.
it looks like a playback
cruel comments!
I think they are wanna be Troll's touring the videos trying to stir people up to get reactions to their comments ,, they are very sad ,insecure people probably with no life or friends ..pathetic as can be ...
this is The Four Seasons Presto.. I hate the name "Storm"
@asianb0iiii they're just modernizing it. people these days have no musical taste so they try to make it seem more appealing
nice experiment, but not really my taste
Really, classical performances can be sexy without adding the kinda rock crap and overtly dressing to be perceived as so--
She's having fun get over your stiff collared self ....
u just misunderstand... -__-'
@liszt80 but still I don't like this version( it too "pop misuc"
quel massacre : Pauvre Vivaldi ! Il doit se retourner dans sa tombe... Se faire du fric dans la provoc ? jouer Vivaldi en dévoilant des seins tombants ? vouloir les faire renifler auprès des spectateurs ? Un jour elle sera à poil pour compenser la juste musicalité à apporter à ce grand compositeur.
reac/20
sooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad no one could be like samviel
This fucked up, y'all.
violin for me is a classy and deep instrument. After this video, no matter how good she is, she just lost my respect.
She has earned more than enough respect, so she can afford to lose some.
Good riddance ,,don't come back to Vanessa's videos,, go somewhere else and complain ...
too bad for you bub
weaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak very weak playback
look for :
yanni - the storm
