Vanessa-Mae News Forum

Thank you for posting this.

The news release says this:
"Vanessa is currently working on her next album due for release in 2009"

So I guess the concert will be music from her new album :)


Westonbirt is a difficult place for me to get to so I will ...

That solves that mystery

The eBay item has a different and misleading cover from the one you picture on your site.

What do you think? It looks like the Choreography cover photoshopped into a different colour, so my fist thought was that it was an alternative version or a pirate copy. But look at the track list! What's going on here?

Has there been any news of the format of the tour? Will there be an orchestra, or will she just do her "pop" music? And will there be any previews of the new album material?

I have never been to a concert that allows recording, and I have seen equipment confiscated and even people thrown out for trying it. It usually says on your ticket (on the back) that recording equipment is not allowed.

But I have been to many concerts where people have secretly recorded. It ...

Thank you for that, MSam

I haven't seen the advert in the UK but I don't really watch much TV so I could easily have missed it.

I suppose EMI must still consider Vanessa-Mae a sellable artist, if they are willing to put money into TV advertising. How many of their artists get 30-second TV ads for a compilation of old ...

It's hard to be certain with such a small picture and her hair hiding her face, but I don't think it is Vanessa-Mae.

Anyway, you must be the world's leading expert on Vanessa-Mae photos, so if you don't think it's her that's good enough for me

I have the Red Hot Tour video, but things always sound different live anyway so I would like to get this version.

I guess it would be better to leave the single and look for the Alternative Album instead because of the Paganini Caprice. But the bid on ebay is so low that I think I'll just bid on ...

I found this item on eBay. Track list is:

RED HOT
AURORA (not previously available)
TOCCATA AND FUGUE IN D MINOR (single edit)

What I don't understand is Aurora not previously available . Is it the same Aurora as was released on Storm, or is it a different version?

I know the Red Hot single was ...

That's a beautiful photo Rijko. Brings back good memories for me

I made a profile just to see what all the fuss was about, but then I couldn't see any point in having it.

I know a few local bands that have MySpace pages, and they use then to advertise their gigs. For people like that I think it's a really useful site because it's a cheap way for them to get ...

I really wish EMI would give this an offical release.

It's not unknown for a company to release old material from an artist that is no longer with them. Often this is done to cash in on some new success, so if Vanessa-Mae gets a surprise hit from her next album then EMI will be scrambling to find ...

Thank you for this review, Rijko. I had never even heard of this concert before. I wish everything like this was available on official DVD, but I think there is very little chance of that

It's not bad at all. Obviously they can both play very well and the arrangements are interesting. I like how Pamela mixes grand piano and electronic keyboards, and I like the big variety of backing musicians they have.

I think Pamela should stop dressing like a 16-year-old, though. How many times ...
