André Rieu Has Composed Three Pieces For Dutch Film

André Rieu Has Composed Three Pieces For a Film

AMSTERDAM - He's still one of the main export products of the Netherlands and now also has his name on the credits of a Dutch film . At the request of Johan Nijenhuis, André Rieu composed three songs for the latest film by this director: "Tuscan wedding."

In May it was announced that Rieu would provide the music for this film. In the meantime, the compositions are finished. It is the first time that the famous violinist and conductor engaged in film music, although previously he did compose music for the German TV series Donna Leon. For this romantic comedy, Rieu together with Frank Steijns, a violinist in his Johann Strauss Orchestra, composed these pieces; "the Tuscan Wedding Waltz", "Volare con Bella" and "Tarantella". The title song of the film is being sung by the Italian singer Anna Lisa.

Inspiration

The subject "Wedding in Tuscany" was very inspiring for us. We were able to enjoy a deliciously Italian lifestyle in both the compelling romantic melodies like the "Tuscan Wedding Waltz", and also in the exuberant, radiant lifestyle of the tarantella. "These pieces will definitely be on my next CD, which will be released worldwide,'' says Rieu.

"Tuscan Wedding" is the unofficial sequel to the film "In Love with Ibiza" and will be available in the cinema effective January 30th. Jan Kooijman and Lieke van Lexmond play the leading roles in this film. It was announced Sunday that the film has already been sold to South Korea.

Thanks to Ineke for sending this and John Translating it.

    Voilà une super nouvelle, j'espère que l'on pourra bientôt voir ce film. André peut composer de très jolies mélodies comme il l'a déjà fait avec "La vie est belle" ou la jolie musique de la série "Donna Léon", en français "Commissaire Brunetti". Bravo à lui et ses collaborateurs au grand talent, c'est un vrai bonheur! Francine.
