Andre Rieu - E Lucevan Le Stelle (DRESDEN 2008) DIGITAL TV

[Buckaroo543]

Andre Rieu puts on an absolutely marvelous program. I saw him live in Portland OR, and was amazed. For the "purists" on here complaining about this and that, I pity you. Your lives must be miserable, and I doubt you have much of a life. He's funny, energetic, an accomplished violinist, conductor, and his singers and orchestra are fabulous. I just wish you poor, boorish idiots would just pass what you despise by, and let the rest of us relish in a great concert.

nice, but I like the original more... esp with one tenor...

Anyway, an off-key trumpet ruined it for me at 3:51.

Beyond the singing, I prefer this orchestral arrangement, over the quiet and sappy original. This particular arrangement in my opinion has guts and sorrowfulness to it, which the original doesn't due to it's calm orchestration. The version has backing vocals, a bass drum and brass which the original does have - ex. backing vocals - but uses the instruments much to little. All these things enhance the dreadfulness, that the words and music is trying to portray. Blessings to the orchestrator!

Thank You Mr. Rieu and orchestra,

[WhiteNightFantasy178]

MAN! DAS WAR IN DEUTSCHLAND?? wusst ich nich xD

[Giovannilinverno]

Puccini just rolled over in his grave. It's amazing that despite the thorough abuse the music still survives. Rieu's circus at its 'best'.

3:08 and 3:10 : GIVE ME THE EVIL LOOK ;pppp

[onotuoedaul]

crying.

Once, the Met needed three tenors to go through one performance of Tristan... now, they need three tenors to go through one single aria! Incredible, and incredibly ugly and tasteless on top of it.

BOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOO!

Scheisse

I have seen this last night in Los angeles and I can say I will never forget him and the show my whole life.

A master entertainer thanks for coming to Los Angeles mr. Rieu.

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE!!!!

[scarpia1965]

Right! These daddies should stay at home!

[ideiao]

That's horrible

[girardje70]

amazing

[bially5]

ja, Klassik weichgespült und das in der Oper von Dresden, mir fehlen die Worte! Arien werden problemlos umgestellt, Backgroundchor und Blech dazugegeben und mit viel Tamtam und Showdirigat hat man ein massentaugliches Endprodukt, mir wird übel!

[scarpia1965]

Stimmt! Rieu vergreift sich an Dingen, von denen er nichts versteht. Diese "Tenörchen" sind übel!

[P0dDels]

Schön, dass das endlich jemand erkennt. Alle werden vom großen Meister Rieu geblendet und denken er sei der beste Musiker aller Zeiten...

[s5lumr2]

absolutly incredible moment

thx for upload

[yappity]

Ahem. Puccini's most beautiful aria and how not to do it...

And Monsieur Rieu, are you afraid somebody might forget you're a violinist if you put away the poor instrument and used both your hands for the "dramatic conducting" show?

;-)

It's amazing, though, how the beauty of the piece still shines through despite all the extra brass, percussion and backing vocals.
