Watch out for Rahman-Vanessa Mae music
IANS
MUMBAI: When violin sensation Vanessa Mae met Indian composing genius A.R. Rahman to make
music, the results were electric.
Backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, violin phenomenon Vanessa's first recording for the Sony Classical label has a string of tracks by international composers, including Rahman.
From the tribal dances of Africa to the silken grace of a European minuet, dance rhythms are
the inspiration for the choreography.
Vanessa holds over 40 international platinum awards and whose worldwide sales have surpassed
eight million.
"It was really interesting to work because AR has lots of projects on the go, the process was
very organic," said Vanessa.
"We would meet up, he would show me a patchwork of a few bars that we would then add on to the
previous few bars and the track would grow". There are some violin flourishes that AR had written literally seconds before I entered the recording booth.
"This made the song all the more enjoyable to record as the whole experience just flowed. AR
adopts the persona of the instrument that he's writing for and writes notes from the violinist's point of view."
Other composers on the album include Oscar winner Vangelis ("Chariots of Fire"), Irish
composer/producer Bill Whelan ("Riverdance") and Tolga Kashif ("The Queen Symphony").
"It was cool to work with Vanessa because even though she is such a big star, she is a simple
person and she is open and receptive to musical challenges," said Rahman.
"They wanted me to do the Chinese kind of track too. However, due to time constraints, I couldn't do it."
"I first heard about this project when Rob Dickens (Instant Karma) contacted me through the
recommendation of Sony Classical and asked me if I would be interested. I was interested because they wanted a today kind of Indian track."
Vanessa stormed the charts with her unique brand of classical crossover in 1995 when she was just into her teens.
Her formidable musical talent was revealed on the blockbuster album, "The Violin Player", which
sold over 3.5 million copies.
Running with the winds of change, Vanessa continued to pioneer the classical crossover sound and quickly emerged as the first real superstar in this controversial, crowded but sensational field.
The recording was inspired by the rhythms and pulses of dance cultures, ranging from
Argentinean tango and the seduction of the Bolero, to the tribal dances of Africa, the complex and mystical beauty of Indian music and the allure of the belly dance. She has inspired some of today's most exciting composers to create new sounds with these traditional forms.

Violin-pop princess Vanessa Mae will present a desi twist to her
music as she plays A R Rahman's tunes on her latest album. The two
musical prodigies are collaborating for the first time on the track
Raga's Dance , for her album Choreography .
Working with the Chennai-based Rahman was an "organic" experience,
Vanessa told TOI in a statement from Singapore. "He would show me a
patchwork of a few bars that we would add onto the previous few bars
and the track would grow. There are some violin flourishes that AR
had written, literally seconds before I entered the recording booth,
and this made the song all the more enjoyable to record as the whole
experience just flowed!" Both Rahman and Vanessa have been child
prodigies.
Rahman took to the keyboard at the age of 9, and by 11 was working
with the likes of Illayaraja. Violin-pop princess Vanessa Mae will
present a desi twist to her music as she plays A R Rahman's tunes on
her latest album.
The half-Thai, half-Chinese Vanessa took up the violin at the age of
5, playing Bach and Mozart with the Royal Philharmonic at 10. With
her debut album The Violin Player , Vanessa added pop fizz to the
formal world of classical music. Rahman took time off in between his
other projects to compose this track. "It was cool to work with
Vanessa because even though she is such a big star, she is open and
receptive to musical challenges," says Rahman. Another incentive for
him was to work with Oscar-winning composer Vangelis, on the same
project.
