3.0 out of 5 stars Great Music--Poor Recording, November 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Very Best Of (MP3 Download)
Apparently, this album was ripped from a set of LP vinyl disks. The cover art seems to confirm this. This being the case, there is no way to know how old or what condition the original disks were in. There is a lot of noise and distortion in many of the tracks. Some sounds like surface noise and the distortion sounds like a worn stylus.

At any rate, the music is great with a variety of waltzes, polka, etc. Many tracks are live performances, apparently in Denmark, where the audience enthusiastically sings along. If you can tolerate the noise, here are 40 tracks of outstanding music, most of which very clear.

For the price, I recommend this download even with its faults.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Rieu - can it be real?, November 17, 2009
This review is from: Very Best of André Rieu (Audio CD)
The audio quality is so bad it's hard to tell if this could be Andre or not. If it is it must be from his very early years as the production is so poor. I'll pass and stick his newer recordings which are always of such high quality musically and artistically.
