she was invited because Madeira Island (Portugal) is a European region of the year 2004 so loads of artists have come here to play, one for each months, and Vanessa was the artist invited in May. For example Eros Ramazotti will be here in June.
She said that it was great to leave the studio where she has been all this time finishing recording her album. She also said she missed already being at stage.
It was a great great concert, I loved it.
The music has some rhythm, she played the whole song sitting on stage, as the drummer ( I thing Fergus) was "playing" which variated percursion elements.
He came to the front, and had sticks and other things and he was hitting them on the floor and even had a horn!
That song is definitely 'Bach Street Prelude.' It is on her album 'Storm.' I've seen her play it live several times and it is a brilliant and spectacular piece of music in a live concert. I was so impressed by the joy Vanessa-Mae shows in playing it on stage before her fans.
Here are a couple of links related to Vanessa-Mae's concert at Madeira Island. The original texts were in Portugese and were automatically translated to English:
I must be honest, previous to the concert I could name one of her songs. I had heard about her being so young and yet so talented, but I didnt know her work.
It's not really my type of music but I really liked the concert
and this forum is very very well done, congrats she must be proud for having such caring fans
