Andre Rieu

Featured Replies

Hi!

What do you think about Andre Rieu? In my opinion he is one of the best violinists and I really enjoy every single of his performances!

One of my favourites is his interpretation of the Blue Danube Waltz(J.Strau

He's a tad bit annoying.....

Well Andre Rieu JR. that is. His father, Andre Rieu SR was a "serious" conductor in the '50s and 60's, and very well respected. There is a recording of him on imeem:

Hans Henkemans, piano - Amsterdams Kamerorkest Andre Rieu - henkemanskv238c - Free MP3 Stream on IMEEM Music

Where you can hear him with Dutch pianist Hans Henkemans in /mozart's Bb concerto kv 238.

Speaking of old records, this is a splendid site:

- the european archive : home page -

It's a collaboration of different European radio libraries.

At the the moment there are more then 800 classical Lp's from the

Dutch public radio which you can download for free.

There are some real rare gem's in that

collection, like the Max Rostal Beethoven sonata's ($200 at Ebay!)

never issued on cd:

As American Ip addresses are blocked,

Some examples of the lp's are on youtube

YouTube - EuropeanArchive's Channel

Note... At the moment, the "whole side" wave files on top are Raw unedited files.

People mistake them for "the declicked and normalized" files. So please scroll down

and you the the edited (and better sounding) files.

Have fun!

Arrivederci!

Greetings,

He seems a bit schmaltzy

I don't like him. Any violininst who has the arrogence to lead an orchestra as a conductor needs to be shot and then revived to play last chair viola.

What's wrong with last chair viola?

I Actually don't like him.... He makes too saccharine concerts for me...

He's like the Kiss of classical music if you will

Don't bad mouth KISS like that! *eyeroll*

Good thing you weren't around before the 19th century then!
