And, it is a<br />collage of Andre Wien Specials that<br />culminated in the special medal<br />presented to the Maestro toward the<br />end of the DVD. Am sure Wien tourism benefited greatly from Andre focus. A classic WIN WIN for<br />all involved.Gary M.

The Wiener Festwaltzer dvd has not been released here in South Africa yet, but I acquired the cd a few days ago and I think it is excellent... and I am not one of those fans who put Andre on a pedestal, but I really, really enjoy it. And the same goes for the Fiesta Mexicana dvd. I didn't get round to seeing Maastricht 2011 at the cinema, but what I've seen & heard on the Internet sounds good, so I will definitely buy that one as well, as soon as its available locally.<br /><br />Entia from sunny and warm South AfricaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683592745518422511.post-87160370241303890802011-11-03T14:16:08.116-07:002011-11-03T14:16:08.116-07:00I got this DVD "And The Waltz Goes On" a...I got this DVD "And The Waltz Goes On" a few weeks ago. Sorry to say it is the biggest piece of junk he has ever put out. I don't buy these DVD's to watch how he makes the DVD's I buy them to hear and watch the concerts. Shamefully, there is not much of the concert. He talks to some woman and show how the productions are make. Don't buy this dvd if you want to view the concert as there is very little to watch . I hope the last two DVD's Mexico and this one is not indicative of what we are going to be getting in the future. Lastly, where is the Maastricht 5 DVD concert from last summer?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886952441300541740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683592745518422511.post-6240303528411600642011-11-03T11:16:46.093-07:002011-11-03T11:16:46.093-07:00Oh Blue Eyes what can i say, you rock my world wit...Oh Blue Eyes what can i say, you rock my world with your waltz's.

Classical music has always borrowed from popular, jazz and folk music and vice versa. Andre and the JSO have found a way to present classical music in a way that is extremely accessible and enjoyable for audiences.

The mix of music Andre employs is about<br />right although Weiner Festwalzer is<br />a bit heavy on waltz and dialogue. Am really pumped waiting for the release of Maastricht V from this<br />summer. Saw Andre At Cinema (M. V)and it was our cup of tea. The tough USA economy is affecting concert attendance but Mexico concerts made up for it.Gary M.
