5.0 out of 5 stars Classical Beauty, May 16, 2009

This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

This CD is quite beautiful. It is classical, primarily strings with other instrumentation woven in. There are 15 tracks of extremely peaceful and relaxing music. In its beauty, it could also be considered romantic and there is some opera singing in places. You will most certainly recognize "My Heart Will Go On" from the movie "The Titanic" and "The Blue Danube Waltz". There is also some German singing (Andre is from Germany.) You will likely recognize some other tunes too.

A booklet is included, but the booklet is primarily advertisement (other CDs/DVDs and upcoming appearances). He also lists where the songs on this CD are from (what other DVDs).

This CD is great to listen to, to play as background entertainment for a dinner guest, or even to meditate to (if you are pretty good at meditating).

On a side note, I just saw Andre and his 50-piece orchestra in concert and they were wonderful! People even waltzed in the aisle. The concert went about 2 1/4 hours. He was extremely personable and comical in person. Although I have not seen any of his DVDs, I would assume that they capture some of the lightheartedness I saw in person, such as the person in bull costume chasing a lady dressed in all red or the beer garden celebration. If you get a chance to see him and his orchestra in person, DO IT!

This is a CD that features many of his best hits. We have enjoyed the music very much as we do with all of Mr. Rieu's music. It is upbeat, happy music. Greatest Hits
