【專輯介紹】：

Vanessa-Mae, vehemently opposed to any "compartmentalising of music", describes the material on this album as "techno-acoustic fusion". As far as instrumentation and recording techniques go, that's a pretty fair description. But when the subtitle is "The Classical Album" , Vanessa-Mae and her producer/composer Mike Batt (of Wombles fame) stand accused of misleading their audience. Apart from the opening "Toccata in D", one of the prodigy Vanessa-Mae's favourite show pieces, all tracks are original compositions, most of them by Batt. What we hear are contemporary, poppy pieces, rock drum and keyboard-based, and tailor made for Vanessa-Mae's high-energy yet delicate virtuosity. The fact that the talented Batt is audibly influenced by Michael Nyman does not make his compositions more "classical", but thankfully steers them out of the tedious realm of "Classic Rock". "Widescreen" is a track where the Mae-Batt synthesis works very well; both violinist and producer making the most of the technology-meets-tradition concept. Some of this is film score material, some shopping-mall ear drum fodder, other tracks yet again, revisit Mike Oldfield's old pastures--it is a matter of discussion whether this album "defies all labelling" or simply makes a point of wooing them all in pursuit of the widest possible audience. --Yngvil V.G.

陳美是當今少數成功的前衛小提琴演奏家之一，她那狂野奔放的新新人類形象橫掃流行和經典兩界，征服無數年輕樂迷，那一把電子小提琴更是艷光迸射，可以狂飆出令人血脈賁脹的效果。其實，陳美的“離經叛道”形像在樂評界一直見仁見智，有人驚奇、有人激賞，也有人誓死難以接受。然而透過唱片公司標新立異的包裝背後，明眼人都可以看出陳美一身紮實的小提琴基本功。

這張CD，即可反映出她對古典傳統作品的觸覺和修為，叫不曾深入了解陳美另一面的人大跌眼鏡。託卡塔與賦格[原曲：巴哈/小提琴與電子小提琴混音改編版]及其他九首爵士、流行絕對生猛作品。她說:BEETHOVEN(貝多芬),BEATLES(披頭士),PAGAGNINI(帕格尼尼)與PRINCE(王子)我都喜歡.是我喜歡的，我就演奏....
