Choreography (Vanessa-Mae album)
# Choreography (Vanessa-Mae album)

Choreography is the eighth and most recent album by Vanessa-Mae featuring work by Vangelis, Bill Whelan, A. R. Rahman, Tolga Kashif, and Walter Taieb. She performs with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

"Emerald Tiger" is a composition by Riverdance's Whelan, an Irish/Asian fusion. "Raga's Dance", by Indian Composer A. R. Rahman, is a piece that mixes Carnatic instruments and vocals to a large symphonic orchestration. "Bolero for Violin and Orchestra" is a tribute to Ravel's Boléro, and features a darbuka. "Tribal Gathering" is a minimalist composition in the vein of John Adams but with a live Afro percussion rhythm beneath. "Bolero", "Tango de los Exilados", and "Tribal Gathering" were composed by the European composer Walter Taieb (The Alchemist's Symphony). The track "Handel's Minuet" was produced by Vanessa-Mae, and is the first, and currently only, track she has ever produced for one of her own albums.
