Yes. And Vanessa-Mae only because she managed to put a 'beat' to Vivaldi.
How pathetic, that people are so unwilling to try new things that the only
way they can be made to listen to very simple (not a denigration, merely an
assessment) music which isn't performed on a rock band is to put a beat to
it. Unadulterated, Vivaldi's music has more of an inexorable drive to it
than many pieces of rock music could ever hope to have.
Didn't they both appear on Blue Peter? Maybe this program is a closet
trend setter?!
