André Rieu Awarded For 35 Million Albums

An Award For 35 Million André Rieu Albums

It is a party for André Rieu. On his 66th Birthday he received a very special present: he received an award from his record company "Universal" because he sold 35 million records worldwide. That makes him the best selling classical artist in the world.

 RTL Boulevard: Oct. 1, 2015 - He was presented this award in Rome during a press conference. "This is fantastic. I did not know I would receive this," the proud musician told RTL Boulevard.

 Not yet retired
The 66 year old André is definitely not think about retiring. "It is so enjoyable what we are doing, traveling the world together with my orchestra. Why should I stop? Everything is getting better and people are beginning to know me more," explains the violinist. He regularly receives reaction from his enthusiastic spectators. "I did not know you play such nice music. I'm also a fan," André said about a fan's reaction.

And luckily for his fans, in the coming years they are not getting rid of him yet. "We just agreed, we are going to add another 20 year on to it."

 Starting this month, he will again be traveling the world over: Mexico, Turkey, France, Belgium, England, Germany. And on Saturday, November 14th, André Rieu and his orchestra will be in the Gelredome.
Thank you to John for the Translation

    For sure, André deserve this award. He is just fabulous and I'm happy to see that he has always the same passion in his soul.
    We all enjoy his joy of life and his music.
    Can you believe it, 35 millions of album sale in the world. Who can be able to do the same ?
    I just have my e-tickets for The great rendez-vous in the center of univers, Maastricht. It's my joy and my pleasure to return in the city of André and JSO.
    For now, I wait Paris in November for to see him again. Thanks Sue, Ineke and John for your job.
    Hugs from France.
    Martine

    Bravo Maestro! Truly well deserved, but of course lots of hard work and dedication behind Andre's music and his arrangements for the magical JSO. Bravo also to all of us who continue to love him and support the music! x
