My Story

[ViolinTay]

Oh this is such a lovely story! Your videos were all packaged together so I didn't even notice that you had some posted! I'm fairly new to YouTube so there are definitely things I'm still learning :) That is so awesome that you got to meet Andre Rieu, he is truly amazing!!

[masael255]

@ViolinTay No worries! It took me quite some time to get used to Youtube's constantly changing interfaces as well. It was quite an experience to meet Andre Rieu and his concerts are amazing. Have you ever been? :D

[TheSingingViolinist]

you met andre rieu???? I'm so jealous Antonio!!!!!

[engidaGita2044]

You're a good man, yours is awesome story! i caught one of your performances at CRC last spring. you played a really fast and technical, amazing solo that you composed. it blew me away! dude..how inspiring!!=D

[masael255]

Wow, that's weird to see somebody who saw the concert here on Youtube. @_@ I'm very glad you liked my piece! It's here on my profile if you haven't seen it. I hope you enjoy my playing! :D

Keep up the great work and spread the love of the violin!

[frehchamp]

hey mate, isn't this guy awesome! i know exactly what you mean. I'm 17 from australia, play classical piano. Andre is one of my favourite musicians easily, the amount of energy that is created between him and the orchestra in their music is incredible. Quoting him "music doesn't require energy, it makes energy" so true. Energy that comes in many ways to, emotion, inspiration, the energy to want to go out and share our gifts of music..the list goes on! keep playing mate, share your talent

[raft222]

I love this clip. Music brings joy. I love the violin too. I see Andre Rieu.

[violin225]

I enjoy Andre Rieu Music. I also have been to an Andre Concert.

[masael255]

Isn't it an amazing experience beyond words? Are you a violinist as well?

[raft222]

Yes. I am a violinist.

[rainbowspotter]

Aw Andre is such an amazing and talented performer. I love him too. I usually don't listen to him I just like to watch him. He's such a great enterainer. I love him as well. Great Story dude.

[masael255]

He truly is an entertainer but also a top notch musician as well. I love watching, listening, and just feeling his music. He has what so many modern classical orchestra musicians lack and that is passion for music.

I am right there with you with regartds to Rieu.

Some friends let me watch his concert in Dublin, to watch those people be transformed by the music was incredible.

I went and bought everything he has, and have shared it with many.

The biggest key to his music and style, I believe, is the joy they each put into every concert. It's infectious.

God bless, don't stop dreaming.

[rudyrocks41]

Yeah, that Rieu is really good. I saw him on PBS. Good luck with your violin skills!

[kencole654]

Wow, thats very awesome indeed, I must say I'm thrilled for you and this was a wonderful video! I really admire Andre Rieu as well, but the thing that kills me is that they don't have his music published to sheet music :(

Best Wishes! All the very best!

[musicgirl052]

What a beautiful testimony to Andre! I agree with you; Andre is just fantastic. The very best to you and to your music.

[masael255]

Thank you. He was truly my greatest inspiration outside of my family to music and every day, thanks to his inspiration, I push myself further with new musical challenges.

[elysiumstarz]

oh that's great!

my feelings are the same! he's amazing isn't he!?

[masael255]

Yes he is and his warmth in person is just as incredible...it's a shame I can barely remember that night. xD I was so in shock I still can't believe it.

[karenS45]

[masael255]

Thank you, it was truly more than I could have ever expected.
