In these times of trouble and uncertainty, when you're feeling down, when things seem insurmountable, or you're just losing faith in humanity in general, listen to the music of André Rieu, especially his music videos.
His epic worldwide concerts draw thousands and celebrate the human spirit through music. I find them very uplifting, restoring my faith that humanity is still capable of doing wonderful things.
I hope you do to. :-)
A few of my favorites:
André Rieu - You'll Never Walk Alone
André Rieu - Nearer, My God, to Thee (live in Amsterdam)
Andre Rieu - Hallelujah (Cohen)
One of the first things I do after removing my work clothes is to read my mail while listening to Andre on youtube.
At the moment, the theme from Romeo and Juliet is playing. If he ever returns to the US, I will definitely going to schedule his concert!
Thank you for the thread. I didn’t know anyone on FR knew about Andre Rieu. : )
I love Andre Rieu’s televised concerts, and hubby surprised me with tickets to see a performance live in Rochester, NY. My favorite song was My Way, as performed in the Radio City concert.

Thank you so much, I was going to bed and decided to check in at FR first, so glad I did. I had not heard his music before, and it is beautiful!
Wow, a tribute to American heroes. Very beautifully done by the great Andre Rieu. It's a musician's way of expressing the thoughts of Reagan's Pointe du Hoc speech at Normandy. But in a way, more appreciated because the thank you comes from a man of The Netherlands, a nation devastated by the World Wars. On a light-hearted note, I love Andre Rieu rendition of Drink Drink Drink from the Student Prince. Let every true lover salute his sweetheart... |
Thank you of reminding me of this great artist. And what an impressive man Andre is! Like our Republican nominee, his strength, compassion, and character gushes from him on stage. And what an ambassador of good will. Three years ago he gave a qreat concert in Radio City Music Hall, New York. Here's one of the performances: |
I like and respect Andre very much, and appreciate his work.
I’m a big fan. Love his you tube videos.
Thanks, I had just started to discover some of his vids, this is great!
No, but I was a pretty big André the Giant fan
Yes. Thanks!
Yes. Thanks!
Oh my; Bolero .. one of my favorites.
I would love to see his Christmas Concert. But you have to travel.
But .. at Amazon, you can find past performances on DVD. I have a couple .. and I really enjoy playing them for my friends during the Holidays.
Would it be safe to say that Andre’ Rieu brings to his fans as John Phillips Sousa brings to his? My answer would be YES!
