Vanessa Mae: Iconoclast
Being an iconoclast myself, I like the ideas behind Vanessa Mae's renditions of classic chestnuts, even if the execution of those ideas is sometimes a bit... well... you'll see.
Toccata and Fugue in D minor:
And, since I play my own arrangement of this, Classical Gas:
While we're at it, let's eviscerate Vivaldi:
OK, this one is just bad, but her British accent isn't, so, Vanessa Mae murders Paganini's 24th Caprice:
Didn't like the earlier Classical Gas? How about Bob Marley meets Mason Williams in Raggae Hell:
Just to make a point, she can play straight ahead. Here's some J.S. Bach to prove it:
Her intonation isn't exactly perfect, but it is a live performance.
Finally, The Devil's Trill:

And, of course, it doesn't hurt that she's the hottest girl in all of music at the moment. I. love. her.
No redhead today. LOL!

This was painful. I tried every video. I'm a masochist. The Bach just about killed me. I deserve flowers for not leaving you...
Congratulations on your new home!
I survived it though...
Joyeux Noël! All the best, always.
Consider virtual flowers are on your desktop, Claudia.
*blows kiss*
You just have to try to find the humor in these things, otherwise it can be painful. Though, I must admit, that when the tap dancers came into the Paganini I almost lost my dinner.
Cheers,
Geo
... and she has better hair!

I don't always agree that it's a Man's World. But I'm glad for Vanessa Mae, that it's probably true, when she appears on the stage...
Your virtual flowers and "kiss" greatly helped, Hucbald. Thank you!
Ah, Bach ... and Vanessa Mae entertain me anytime ...
