@scorpdewd Yes, some artistic choices were made that are less than desireable than others. However, when you are at the same artistic level as Rieu, then you can talk.

@htimsdj He,s both,he brought classical music more approuchable to all kind of people because they don,t have to dress up, sit still and be silent but sing along,clap along,dance enjoy themselves.Nothing wrong with that.He,s an entertainer for sure but one who play,s on a real Stradivaruis, that,s a thing that only a real musician does;-)

There are certain things that shouldn't be messed with...one of them is Leroy Anderson's version of Sleigh Ride. It's crisp, choppy, and moving...as if one was on a horse-drawn sleigh on a winter's day or night. This is too polished and has no chop, or clop either! The brass could be deeper, the strings choppier, and the percussion stronger, and nowhere near the foot-tapping, ride evoking image that the Anderson piece (and Boston Pops) delivers.
Not too bad a version of this winter musical classic. But, I agree, it lacks the pizazz that, for example, the Boston Pops gives it. You might say it's performed a bit too smoothly.
