Kempten
- As part of his Germany tour and on the 15th of February, André Rieu made a
stop in the bigBOX
Allgäu venue. Together
with his Johann Strauss Orchestra he brought 3500 visitors to Kempten and was
pleased to receive the "Sold Out Award" from the hall.
"The
waltz is a very important part of my life," André Rieu once said.. "For me it is
the way to have a positive outlook on life and to bring my sense of humor to the
world," and during his actual concert travels he does performs a waltz repertoire. In
addition to the beloved Strauss waltzes and evergreens such as "The Beautiful
Blue Danube" or "Dark Eyes", there were also parts in where the soloists
performing that evening were able to demonstrate their skills.
The
audience in Kempten thanked the native Dutchman with a standing ovation, while
the bigBOX Allgäu team presented André Rieu with the award in the form of an
Allgäuer Cowbell.
(The award is
given on a regular basis as thanks to artists for the sell-out of the
hall).
Thanks
to Ineke for sending this and John for Translating
it

André reçoit une nouvelle distinction, quoi de plus normal avec son talent et son charisme.Il mérite amplement tous les prix qu'il obtient car sa musique est une source intarissable de bonheur, le public apprécie quel que soit le pays ou il se trouve. Vraiment, un grand bravo à cet immense Maestro et son fantastique orchestre! Francine.
