I have to say I laughed when I saw the picture of scaffolding!! It’s his stock in trade and says it all really. Pfft: who needs a Musikverein!!!!!????
I love it.
This man has popularized classical music to the masses in the best possible way. Let’s give him the acclaim he deserve. This video is funny, especially him doing exercises!
Lovely man! What a treasure he is!
What does the expression mean “to drop his knitting” ?
showman? Maybe in a way but so was Stokowski, but also a damn good musician the only thing I reproach him is that he constantly uses inferior artists in his shows, those fourth rate singers without any talent for instance. It’s high time he hires the Kaufmanns, netrebkos, van keulens of today to upgrade his shows..otherwise chapeau to mr Rieu Junior (the video is pretty funny)
For ‘Showman’, read ‘Talented, hard-working violinist and entrepreneur; generous, loyal and caring employer’, then you might get closer to the truth.
We can hardly wait. His shows thrill and inspire. It will be great to have Andre Rieu and his wonderful Johann Strauss Orchestra back in action.
Makes one wish for an eternal pandemic
Music snob.
If you don’t like his product, don’t go to the show. It is hardly forced down your throat.
For the record, I’ve never partaken, except by watching clips on youtube. Some I enjoy, others not so much. I would rather see Andre and friends than Andrea Bocelli, but it is hard to deny that they both have multitudes of devoted fans.
What a childish comment if you don’t like him jig on you have off and on knobs on all Appliances. You don’t fill stadiums with no talent
Fantastic Andre Rieu..He and his fellow musicians bring so much joy and healing to us all. Please keep going. Viva Andre Rieu. Ireland loves you. The world loves you. Keep well and safe.. Slán agus Síocháin.
Brlliant Andre. Wishing you all the very best.
It’s refreshing to see someone who doesn’t take themselves seriously.
