Most of the critics a) do not play the violin b) don't listen to Vanessa-Mae enough to know how a mimed performance sounds like c) have 0 experience when it comes to electric violins. So just because they didn't notice it means it didn't happen. As for why should would mime? I don't know .. but it'...

I don't want trigger any discussion about this mining issue, but I feel very much obliged to Vanessa-Mae to catergorically state here that I completely disagree with Benjamin on his observation that Vanessa-Mae mined the pop part of the concert.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10 As I've mentioned before, I have been waiting for many years to see this concert, and now I have, and I'm very glad I did. I won't make this review long, so I'll highlight some of the important aspects of the concert. First, her performance of Bach's Partitia was very very str...

dEAR Benji, Once again many thanks for so far. It's a great concert to see, the videoquality is extra fine. You're the lucky one to own the original videotape? So you can taste the best of accoustic. On my computer it sounds rather distorted, especially in the upper parts of the violin and the acco...
