Description

Andre Rieu is a violinist and conductor, who was born in the Netherlands in 1949. He grew up surrounded exclusively by classical music. Andre started taking violin lessons at the age of five, the beginning of a love affair that would never end. As a student he was asked to take part in a salon ensemble and as he played his first waltz, a whole new world opened up for him. From that time on, Andre was hooked on the waltzes' rhythm and dreamt of creating a large orchestra that would enchant its audience. After recruiting his own 'Johann Strauss Orchestra' Andre began to tour. Crowned the 'Waltz King', Andre's wish was to make classical music accessible for everyone. This is his story. The CD will feature the music that he performed in his earlier years, especially the music that became turning points in his career.
