It’s but a short journey from the world of waltzes to the world of operetta – second-cousins one might call them – and André’s new CD brings us those timeless melodies from Kalman’s The Gypsy Princess (a great Mantovani hit) and the gorgeous song Liebe du Himmel auf Erden (You love heaven on earth). And then another short ride to the world of musicals, for two numbers from the Disney musical of the moment – Mary Poppins, and the incredibly moving Send in the Clowns from Sondheim’s A Little Night Music. Not forgetting the song of songs that climbed to the top of the charts worldwide last year: I dreamed a dream.
The album features soprano soloists Australian-born Mirusia Louwerse and Brazilian-born Carmen Monarcha, who make the recording debut as duetists for Send in the clowns. And of course, the delightful Platin Tenors who sing the Chiantilied and the ‘mum’ song of songs, Mamma.
As with every André Rieu CD, it’s beautiful, memorable melodies in lavish arrangements, all with the stamp of Maestro Rieu that make this the perfect album for Mother’s Day – and, in fact, well beyond.
