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)
Yes. We have many of the JSO DVD’s, and enjoy listening to them often.
I am a HUGE fan.
I’ve never been to one of his concerts, but I hope to one day.
:-)
Same here.
YES! Thanks for this!
It would be nice, but I don’t think we’ll see any here in the Southern California area.
My favorite of his instrumentals:
All that gibberish for the Beautiful Blue Danube Waltz eh.
When crossword creators get tired of 'lieu' they use 'rieu' in lieu of 'lieu.
Probably not. Radio City and a number of concerts in Florida are all that I know of, but I am only a recent fan. Maybe others here can chime in.
You are most welcome! I’m happy to see others here who also appreciate and enjoy his music. :-)
Americans aren’t into the classics as are say Europeans, and other countries around the World. The draw isn’t there other than say Radio City. Florida is where the NYC migrants go, so would stand to reason there could be an audience there.
He draws huge audiences. Traveling the World costs money, so he needs to book such large audiences. Hard to do in the States where pop is king.
His is such a prolific artist, and a true artist, that there has to be some piece or other for everyone. :)
He reaches out to all. Big band, Rock and Rieu, and the ladies are gorgeous. Carmen Monarcha, and Marucia Lewhurse are eye candy, and sing like angels. They have fun entertaining, and everybody in their audiences enjoy them right back.
Yes, I too love my DVD’s .. the music is so soothing - and the staging is so beautiful .. it takes away some of the harshness of the day’s events.
