To appreciate Raga's Dance, one needs to perceive culture - in this instance, Indian culture. I think this is a beautiful piece of work composed by A.R. Rahman and brilliantly performed by Vanessa-mae. There is a parallel between Raga's Dance and Happy Valley (listen to both and you will understand ...

Vanessa-mae will be around for a long while. She is to techno-fusion/classical what Tina Turner is to pop. I see her performing in 2047 when Hong Kong officially comes under total jurisdiction of China. With her stature, she would make a good British ambassador to either Thailand, Singapore, or even...

Atreides, you were mistaken as I have never mentioned anything about Sarah Chang in this forum other than suggesting that it would be interesting to see them playing together. I agree with your findings on VM vs SC. Both are very talented; one has a huge following in Europe and Asia, and the other i...

Vanessa-mae is beyond any doubt the most famous emigrant Singapore has produced. She is responsible for imbuing young parents with the anxiety to send their little ones for violin lessons. Her face is easily recognisable in this part of the world, by both young and old. Hence, her endorsement of com...

I am a collector of Butterfly Lovers. In my collections, the best version is undoubtedly by Vanessa-mae. The version by Takako Nishizaki with the Shanghai Conservatory Symphony Orchestra in 1992 is also good. Takako Nishizaki also recorded this piece with the Czecho-Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra i...

Yes, a Duo with Sarah Chang would be interesting. Perhaps even a Trio comprising VM, Sarah Chang and Yo-Yo Ma would be excellent. The ultimate would be to have a Quartet with all three plus another on the viola (I can't think of that fourth member). If such Quartet is possible, we would probably be ...

Yes, rather witty of you, the sunflowers so aptly relate the situation. Those girls in the video may not necessarily be yummy Malaysian girls; they could possibly be from Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan or Singapore as SIA also recruits from these countries. And they are certainly no less yummy; at leas...
