The hot flush heart-throb! He's the 63-year-old violinist who (for ladies of a certain age) is bigger than Robbie Williams and One Direction put together.
He is well and truly catnip to thousands of women who perhaps have only a feline to love. But it’s the moment after the first few bars of The Blue Danube that the scene suddenly moves me, and I finally get what André Rieu is all about.
All around the auditorium, people are getting up, clutching their husbands or, more often, the woman who has been their best friend since school, and they are in the aisles waltzing. They forget about the timer for the heating, their pension, their losses and the prospect of a care home and they lose themselves in twirling.
Thank You to Margaret for sending the link to the article!
Sooo true, so very true!! However, it is not just "ladies of a certain age" who find The Maestro makes their heart flutter - look around his audiences (and his dancing 'publikum') to see the younger ladies who also love him.
