The golden sound of the Maastrichter Staar can also be heard on André Rieu's new CD.
The contact between Andre Rieu and the Royal Choir Society Maastrichter Staar started in November of last year with the presentation of the Jubilee CD of the Maastrichter Staar.
André received the first copy, presented to him by Mayor Gert Leers. Shortly thereafter, André announced that he had plans to invite the Maastrichter Staar to participate in his Vrijthof concerts on 4, 5 and 6 July 2008.

The golden sound of the Maastrichter Staar can also be heard on André Rieu's new CD.
The contact between Andre Rieu and the Royal Choir Society Maastrichter Staar started in November of last year with the presentation of the Jubilee CD of the Maastrichter Staar.
André received the first copy, presented to him by Mayor Gert Leers. Shortly thereafter, André announced that he had plans to invite the Maastrichter Staar to participate in his Vrijthof concerts on 4, 5 and 6 July 2008.
When André also offered the Staar the opportunity to participate in his shortly to be released new CD, the Staar could not be happier. Three extra rehearsals and two recording-evenings were necessary to firm up the participation of the Staar on this CD. The men of the Staar can be heard amongst others as the prisoners in "Botany Bay", in Waltzing Matilda(Title of his new CD) and the Australian Anthem "Advance Australia Fair".
Through their participation, the Staar, together with the orchestra and André, can shortly be heard in living rooms throughout the world. The choir could not wish for a bigger Jubilee present.

Thanks,Sue. This is certainly something to look forward to.It will be a wonderful sound.
ReplyDeleteAs an Australian I'm quite excited about this new C.D. We've heard these Ballads so often, that, in my opinion only Andre with the J.S.O could use them to capture people's attention.
Cheers
