Andre has liberated the classical music audience as well as the musicians, as evidenced by the excitement and enjoyment shown by them in this video. Music should be enjoyable to all the people involved but the traditional orchestra is serious and inhibited. May we have more Andre and JSO to bring classical music back to the people!
you know something, to the people who think this music is an insult, guess what, you're an insult to humanity, i'm sitting here doing my art work, with a grin to rival the cheshire cat, dancing along, if i go to a concert, i want to have a good time, i want to be in the prescence of joy and ecstacy, not solitude and boredom, andre rieu brings just that, i think the atmosphere would be amazing
La musica de Johann Strauss, es lo maximo, como lo interpreta la Orquesta de Andre Rieu es perfecta, que mas se puede pedir, afortunadamente tengo todos los discos de Andre Rieu.
I think that the MUSIC is created for people to ENJOY it in their own way. Perhaps some people want to listen to it dressed in formal clothes, and being very serious, but most of the people want to dance, and sing along, and express their own vision of the music with gestures.... There's nothing bad about this. I must admit that this picture of so many happy faces, of people really enjoy in music, is one of the most beautiful things that can be seen. A smile for all those jolly people! :)
I love Andre's orchestra because they have fun~ they don't just stare at their music or him. They do what the music makes them feel to do, which is what supposed to happen. Andre Rieu has captured the heart and soul of music in a way no one else has or can.
@fairiegirl2992 You hit this one right on the head. Such energy and joie de vivre.
How wonderful for all of us, that Andre is talented enough to not give two figs what the elite's say and to bring this to the world. It is just so full of happiness. If you could set joyful laughter to music it would sound something like this.
Thank you, danke schon, dankie, for posting this. Cheerful, delightful, pure fun and musical genious. Bringing quality music to millions and making it popular, thank you Andre Rieu!
What a joke! Strauss would have LOVED this, I'm sure! Music is supposed to be a joy. different people enjoy it in different ways. Andre Rieu & his orchestra bring a great deal of joy to many many people all over the world LONG MAY THEY CONTINUE!!
If you want to wear a hair shirt when you listen, do it in private. Lest the rest of humanity have some fun!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is a total insult to J Strauss. Rieu turns these waltzes and all the other classical pieces he ruins into bland synthetic lift music.He dumbs down the original orchestration into a kitch travesty. This is heresy-it is like turning a Rembrandt into a table mat.
PLEASE listen to the Vienna Philharmonic instead and you will understand what I mean!!
I think there should be a protest against this-he only gets away with it as the composer is dead.
Andre Rieu brings to his audience fun and audience participation to those who appreciate the music of Johann Strauss - but without the 'straight jackets' implied by your comments. This alternative way of celebrating the music of JS can only prolong the continuation of the Music to the masses however they interpretate it.
@ Cheamverdi, Get a life man! Do you honestly think that he can fill stadium tours to capacity if people think he dosen't play enjoyable music. Look at the audience!!!
I actually see a place for both the VPO and the JSO. However, when I watch the VPO's New Years' concerts, I see no joy. Even other "traditional" orchestras show more joy when they play these pieces.
And how can you NOT want to get up and dance to music like this?
However, I realize that André's music isn't for everyone. :-)
@cheamverdi I agree the Vienna Philharmonic is a wonderful orchestra but come on. Andre does not dumb down the music. He presents it in a manner the masses enjoy and less face it...you either appeal to the masses or go dig your grave. Orchestras around the world are struggling to survive. and why??? Because they BORE people. There is no color, action or excitement. People like being a part of the show. Not sit there stony faces and bored.
Hi Andre, no matter what your critics have to say ... just ignore them. You have made millions so joyful and happy with your music and entertainment. BRAVO. At this time the world needs more joy in their lives ... lots of us love you and your orchestra.
Musicas divinasssssssssss.
