Unveiling in the largest
newspaper in France:
Romantic André Rieu derives
his power from women
MAASTRICHT - First a revelation: André Rieu
derives his boundless energy from all the wonderful women who are opposite him
during his appearances on the big stage. That is what he revealed today in an
exclusive video interview with Le Parisien, the largest newspaper in France.
And no, his wife Marjorie is absolutely not jealous of all those ladies who worship the stand-alone violinist: the great Maastricht violinist had not been to bed with all his female fans, he says while smiling shyly as he grabs his cup of coffee: "That would be a lot of work."

Le Parisien recently was the guest at "House
de Torentjes" (House of little Towers), which dates back to 1452, and is the
castle of André Rieu, located on the Lage Kanaaldijk in Maastricht. Quite a
chore, the newspaper lets its readers know. For more than a year the reporter
has been trying to organize an interview of an hour, but the agenda of the
Maastricht superstar -the most famous and popular living violinist- has been
totally booked full, according to Le Parisien, and this was something simply not
very easy to achieve.
Le Parisien did not only receive an
interview, but also was given a tour of the castle (called de Torentjes, the
small towers), its garden (including the pond with Koi carp), the Orangery and
the studio.
André Rieu is a romantic, he says in French.
"Everything I do is romantic. A romantic is someone who thinks he can change the
world. He thinks he can change everything, anything that is possible.
Thanks to John for the Translation
It's just fabulous to be able to see and read this interview in French. The French are not many to be fans of André and when he comes in France the medias said nothing. It's sad. We can be happy that " Le Parisien" has made this report. Thanks John for the translation and Sue for sharing it on your wonderful website. Amitiés de France.

André est un homme tellement adorable de part son talent mais aussi son sens de l'humour et son humanité. Ses concerts sont tout simplement fabuleux, des moments magnifiques ou l'on oublie les difficultés du quotidien. Bravo et merci à lui et son formidable orchestre! GOD BLESS YOU Maestro ! Francine.
