1.0 out of 5 stars Excellent music however recording engineer ruined the cd, January 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Live Gala Evening - Andre Rieu (2 CDs) (Koch) (Audio CD)

Recording engineer Conny Peters has done it again. What could have been an excellect CD was turned into a less than satisfactory one. André's violin sounds like a cheap toy. Improper microphone placement, incorrect recording levels are but a few of the problems found with this CD.

This review is from: Live Gala Evening - Andre Rieu (2 CDs) (Koch) (Audio CD)

Andre Rieu gives listeners a Musical Party with this Gala Evening, recorded Live. This is my favorite, although with Andre you cannot go wrong.

Happy, Joyful, Fun. Get ready to clap, sing & dance.

Live in Dublin has better sound, but it comes in a close second to this double CD set.

I have them all. This is my favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars My wife and I were born in Maastricht now live in Melbourne, March 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Live Gala Evening - Andre Rieu (2 CDs) (Koch) (Audio CD)

This concert is performed on "ashwednesday" after the carnival that is celebrated in that part of the Netherlands,they call that province Limburg, the people speak a certain dialect,part German, French, and Maastricht is one of the most beautifull cities in Western Europe,the reason for having "Euro"decision made in "the treaty of Maastricht" a few years ago.When we listen to this music,we shed a tear.
