André Rieu and The Maastricht Salon Orchestra

Salut d'amour

Al Girard sent me this and I thought everyone would like to see it. It's an LP that he bid for on ebay and just got of André with his Maastricht Salon Orchestra.
Autographed by all of them including André!!

It Was Their Second Album, Released in 1983!http://www.hollandrocks.com/jump/bio/bz6809.html

  2. Oh dear Al, I'm so happy for you... getting a classic from the 80's. I've always found "Serenata" the most perfect CD to play with my family's black and white home movies. But Salut d'amour was like "THE ONE" piece representing my childhood, so you can imagine how excited and touched I was when I heard (and saw) it again in André's "Dreaming", and he played it twice in the DVD too. Boy! I need to play it tonight!
