Commemorating André Rieu's 30 Years On Stage
I have received a 'Pre-sale' copy of André's new DVD "André Rieu Greatest Hits" to preview and I wanted to write a little about what I thought of it ... I wasn't sure how it would be, as it's all pieces that I have on other DVD's. I was very pleasantly surprised though!! I have watched it FIVE times now and just love it! It's not just his Greatest Hits ~ They have taken the favorites of all the fans pieces and then picked the favorite DVD that those pieces are on.
You start with, 'oh habet acht' from 100 Years of Strauss, to 'The Gadfly' from Dreaming, to what I think is the most dramatic recording of André's 'Bolero' from La Vie Est Belle!I was so happy that they have added 'Toselli Serenade' and 'Ode to Maastricht' (with Benny Neyman) from The Homecoming ... then you are off to the beautiful square in Cortona with Lagune Waltz and Opera Potourri from Live in Tuscany ...... and many more places!
There's no 'talking' on this one ... it's All Music. Before each piece, they show you the name of it and a picture of the DVD that it is from, and then you are at that concert to watch and listen ... it's like taking a little trip in time and places with André, all on One DVD!! It's a great way to spend an afternoon. ~ Sue

Thanks Sue. Between this DVD and Carmen's new CD coming out this year, Christmas shopping will be a "point-and-click" affair.
