New article dated 1999 with some fine photos of vanessa-Mae

[Xanthippe]

The German magazine Bunte had extensive information on Vanessa-Mae with an article with several unique photos and a short interview in their issue of February 11th 1999. Bunte states in the article that Vanessa-Mae is the 'Anne-Sophie Mutter' of the young generation violinists, but at the same time call her controversial because of her style and chosen career path. Bunte refers to a manager who organised a visit of Vanessa-Mae and her team to Germany when they inform about all demands that had to be met before Vanessa-Mae agrees to the visit. These demands lie in the field of food and drinks that must be supplied, the furniture of her dressing room and everything needs to be settled in official contracts. then the article describes the intimate relationship between Vanessa-Mae and her mother who also was her personal manager at that time, although no real new information is provided. The same holds for the standard well-known biographical details of Vanessa-Mae. Quoted is expert Prof. Hermann Rauhe who states that only few people are interested in classical music in its pure form but that most people prefer the spectacle in modernised style of classical themes that Vanessa-Mae provides, thus explaining her overwhelming artistic and commercial success.
About the interview, the reporter describes Vanessa-Mae as very professional, self confident and relaxed, elegantly dressed and beautifully made up by her stylist showing taste and class. Vanessa-Mae is very decent and moderate. Interesting quotes of Vanessa-Mae from the interview are:

- I love my mum very much.
- All members of my team accompanying me are my friends
- I do everything myself at the moment, sometimes I am quiet sometime impulsive.
- We are just friends (on her alleged relation with F1 driver Jacques Villeneuve)

The photos in Bunte show Vanessa-Mae in lying or sitting on her hotel bed in a white dressing gown; Vanessa-Mae sitting and eating her lunch elegantly dressed in a grey sweater, grey jacket and light blue jeans and wearing wonderful make-up; Vanessa-Mae holding her violin in an affectionate pose wearing a fine black gown; Vanessa-Mae standing on a balcony in a black coat; Vanessa-Mae in sleeping gown standing for a mirror doing her make-up.
