The then-teenage violinist gives a concert in London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Vanessa is okay, nothing super to watch but amazing in her self-assuredness for such a young woman.

In this live concert footage, she attempts to liven up the proceedings with some different kinds of tuns, from classic to rock, and with some dancing added and some small talk between numbers. I give her credit for that. She could just stand there and play the violin but she knows that's not much in visual entertainment. Sometimes she succeeds with these things, other time she doesn't, but she's young and she's trying. Living in London since she was four, she could speak English well, so there was no language barrier. I suspect she's a far better entertainer now, some dozen years after this was filmed. I see here at Amazon she has something out from 2006, so I might check it out.

She's talented, and she's cute but overall this DVD is nothing special. It isn't her fault; watching someone play classical music on violin isn't exactly exciting. About a third of her numbers were classical which sound good, but you might as well just have the CD.

I'm not going to talk about skill or style. All I am going to say, is that it is well worth while getting this DVD. Not only is the music wonderful to listen too, but Vanessa is really nice to look at too.

Hey, if your looking this far, then you should go ahead and get the DVD.

You won't be disappointed.

This woman is a force of nature, a visual as well as an audio feast.Her talent appears limitless as she flows from one virtuoso performance to another. It is such a pity that this is the only DVD available of her craft. She should do more as her performance is a visually stunning as is her instrument virtuosity.More please Vanessa....

This is a performance of a former child prodigy turned professional performer Vanessa Mae in her first concert in London's Royal Albert Hall.She is a tireless performer with amazing talent in both classical and pop music.She shows her talent and her charming personality in every area she tries.

If you are a Vanessa-Mae fan, like I am, you are going to love this DVD. It is the first and, I believe, the only DVD that Vanessa has released. And that is a pity because she is so good at her craft. I was very happy that I bought this DVD and was really impressed with it. It is just long enough to thoroughly enjoy on a rainy night when there is nothing to watch on TV or any other night or day for that matter. Vanessa plays all of her hits up to and including The Violin Player album. I hope that this is not the only release that Vanessa releases because she is really that good. I also hope that I get a chance to see her live in concert in the future. So if you enjoy Vanessa-Mae's this is the DVD for you. Listen and enjoy it forever.

I love this girl for a very long time. her music, her performance is kind of mircal. I will be her fans forever, ever!
