[專輯介紹]：

陳美是當今少數成功的前衛小提琴演奏家之一，她那狂野奔放的新新人類形象橫掃流行和經典兩界，征服無數年輕樂迷，那一把電子小提琴更是艷光迸射，可以狂飆出令人血脈賁脹的效果。其實，陳美的“離經叛道”形像在樂評界一直見仁見智，有人驚奇、有人激賞，也有人誓死難以接受。然而透過唱片公司標新立異的包裝背後，明眼人都可以看出陳美一身紮實的小提琴基本功。

這張CD於1995年發行，是Vanessa-Mae首張的電子舞典/流行專輯，即可反映出她對古典傳統作品的觸覺和修為，叫不曾深入了解陳美另一面的人大跌眼鏡。託卡塔與賦格[原曲：巴哈/小提琴與電子小提琴混音改編版]及其他九首爵士、流行絕對生猛作品。

The Violin Player is the first techno/pop album by classical and pop musician Vanessa-Mae, released in 1995. It is the first album Vanessa-Mae released on the EMI label. The album was produced by Mike Batt, and recorded and mixed by Gareth Cousins, who also programmed the synthesisers and beats for the album.

The Violin Player features a varied blend of music – covers of some classical (J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor), remakes of old favourites (including American composer Mason Williams' "Classical Gas") and originals (seven tracks composed by British musician and songwriter Mike Batt), and one original by Vanessa-Mae herself, co-written with Ian Wherry ("Red Hot").

Singles released from the album include "Toccata and Fugue", which reached number 16 in the UK Singles Chart and "Red Hot" which reached number 37.

The Violin Player reached #11 in the UK Albums Chart in February 1995, and was certified Gold by the BPI in June 1995. It has sold over 8 million copies worldwide, and is still regarded by many as Vanessa-Mae's best work. The album has been reissued as a multi-channel hybrid SACD by EMI Music Hong Kong.
