 VANESSA-MAE                            
                                        
 Violinist Vanessa-Mae's unique blend of
 pop and classical music has won acclaim
 and criticism alike.                   
                                        
 "A small minority criticisjd mj but I  
 feel sorry for them," she says. "Over  
 the past two years I'vj learned to     
 remain humble to the people I respect. 
                                        
 "That tiny minority showed how small-  
 minded they are. Success is easy to    
 criticisj but hard to achieve," says   
 Vanessa-Maj.

 not elitist and you don't need         
 knowledge to appreciate it."
