My father used to bounce me on his knee while humming this song. When I became a father I was sure to pass on the tradition and bounced MY daughter on my knee while humming this to her. I'm 41yo now, my daughter is 20, and my father has passed. This brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face as I remembered my father but mostly it lifted my heart because it was sent to me by my daughter, saying "I remember you bouncing me on your knee to this". Thank you so much!!!
The point of good music is that you don't sit there and clap, this was awesome! Knock over your chairs, do a gig, link arms with someone and spin yourselves around! This music is waisted on sitting!
erm people are jealous of rieu?? news to me :P. hes quite mediocre. if you want a fantastic violinist search nigel kennedy. i do love what he is doing by bringing back all the oldies. its a good pitch.
@KairuTsume: Why do all professors have a German accent? Why are all pizza bakers called Mario or Luigi and do they sing opera? Why do all French wear baguettes under their arm and do they drink a lot of wine? Why do al Bavarians walk around in lederhosen while they drink huge glasses of lager? Why are all chefs fat? Why do all Japanese wear kimonos and why do all Chinese sing revolutionary songs? One answer: PREJUDICES
1. 3 fucktards hit the wrong button. 2. this song is pretty fucking hard to play on guitar and for some damn reason I have a hell of a time doing it when they play that fast at the end.
right at 0:29 you get to hear a sour note. Gotta love that about violin: it's not an easy instrument, and it's a constant challenge to play well. Even professionals get a honking noise like a dying goose once in a while.
@HuxxNL: Nice. You could have corrected alyysamae4 without the ill-manners, profanity and name calling. That's the kind of behaviour you expect from punks hanging around a convenience store.
@andersmful Thank you. I was gonna say something myself, but you did it for me. It was pretty unnecessary. I mean... let's be five years old why don't we?
@sugarpaddy08 He's a Dutch violinist, conductor and producer of musical events who travels the world to celebrate the music of all people's and nations. Thanks for asking.
I agree man, to me the whole point of youtube is to share with with others, not be worried about getting credit! let's just all enjoy it, it's a great clip so let's all be happy that it's here yeah?
Absolutely wonderful! Andre Rieu is great like every time.
