Geoffrey Colman speaks to Vanessa-Mae about Peter Shaffer's Amadeus, and her own experience as a musical prodigy.
Geoffrey Colman speaks to violin virtuoso Vanessa-Mae about Peter Shaffer's Amadeus, and her own experience as a musical prodigy. Like Mozart, Vanessa-Mae was performing for huge audiences and VIPs like the Pope at an incredibly young age. And like Mozart her virtuoso talent was honed during gruelling tours and concert programmes. She explains how she had to contend with more than perfecting her bowing technique, as the adults managing her career pushed for ever-more extravagant performances.
