Without a doubt Vanessa-Mae is one of the most talented musicians in the world, but imho tracks such as Cotton Eye Joe don't need to be in 'The Ultimate' collection. One of her first and most famous tracks 'Red Hot' is in but it is the ,Symphonic Mix. It is good but not the original. 'I Feel Love' is also in, imho Vanessa-Mae is a great violinist, this track just takes away from that with a short burst of a violin solo. However this still has some great tracks including 'Leyenda' with Andy Hill, a great piece of musical talent. Toccata & Fugue is live and really shows Vanessa's ability to shine on stage. Vanessa's looks bring her many adoring male fans, however it only detracts from her amazing abilties to both play to top class and perform just as well. Overall not her best album, it's one where you'll be using the skip button on your CD player a couple of times, saying that it is still worth a listen, if you don't have most of the tracks already. Track list is as follows. 1. Classical Gas 2. I Feel Love 3. Picante 4. Red Hot (Symphonic Mix) 5. Yantra 6. Bach Street Prelude 7. Leyenda 8. Cotton Eye Joe 9. (I) Can, Can (You?) 10. Widescreen 11. Night Flight 12. Toccata & Fugue in D Minor (Live) 13. Allegro (Spring - The Original Four Seasons) 14. Scherzo in C Minor For Violin & PianoRead full review

...Admittedly, as soon as I knew this album was out, I ran out and bought it!! Fans of Janet will definately not be dissapointed with this installment of the Miss Janet saga. After the phenomenal success of the Rhytmn Nation outing, this time the audio backdrop is a little more diversified. Still in a dance-fusion vein though, this time we get the amazing Vanessa Mae popping up for one of the opening gambits, which is definately a good thing. My girl has banned from wearing ma Janet T's in the house, so in case you were wondering, I was definately not dissapointed with this album. If street smart pop soul is your thing, then you can do a lot worse than investigate this album immediately!!... Disadvantages: perhaps a little too long for the casual listener.
I made the mistake of buying this without listening to a few tracks first. Vanessa-Mae is a gifted violinist, but I had not bargained on the repetitive thumping percussion, which is not my cup of tea.
As I am a great lover of ( Vanessa ) this another. one to my collection so now I can listen in my car as well has home so I have two sets to listen to when I like .
Ok 100% ok ok ok
