...singing, as Vanessa-Mae has. "Few people have gone into this area of music, so it's natural to compare us to her," Eos, 26, says. "But that's okay. She's nice. She bought us some champagne when we bumped into her in Switzerland." Reinventing the string quartet is sweaty work?but it has its perks...
