This song played by Vanessa-Mae is part of an album produced by George Martin, former producer of the Beatles.

For this album, George Martin re-wrote and resteructured a couple of the famous Beatles songs for some of todays musicians. He asked our Vanessa-Mae for his violin version of 'Because.'

The result is a very fine touching song, played very well by our Vanessa-Mae.

It is a nice album on which Martin showed some new and original ideas in well-known songs.

As far as I know this album is still available. Check amazon and ebay.

It was during my search at a local store for
The Violin Player, Storm, & Subject To Change that I came accross the album by accident, I did not have the time to listen to it.

Do you think it is worth buying the album?

I bought the album because of our Vanessa-Mae. Her 'Because' is a wonderful track.

I sometimes listen to the cd, not too often but it always pleases me.

Is it worth buying. Sure certainly: simply because of Vanessa-Mae, at least this counts for me.

Gaven, if you need more reasons than only Vanessa-Mae's pressence, then you best listen to the cd first.
