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.

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.

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.

This is probable the best CD made by Andre Rieu together with Fiesta.
Should be absolutely loved by Dutch people as it has quite a few typically Dutch songs perfectly executed Live.
It will make you sing along...even if you cannot keep a tune.

Fantastic Andre and Thanks a lot.

This CD was recordered live. IT's a perfect cd for the "new year" although the sound is not perfect. But it's andré Rieu and we can always appreciate his music. If you like the Johann Strauss orchestra, you'll like the Maastricht Salon orchestra. In fact,some musicians who play in Johann Strauss, play in the Maastricht Salon orchestra. You will hear populars songs like "Old friend", "Stars and stips" "Amazing grace" and the theme song from "Popeye" etc... IT,s different from the other concert of André but it's beautiful. If you are a fan of André Rieu, you must have it.
