Enjoyment of good music, 2010-07-27
This was our first introduction to Andre Rieu and we were not disappointed. Good selection of music, thoroughly enjoyable listening. An added bonus was the DVD that accompanied this CD. Wow! This was pure entertainment at its best. A real showman, no stuffy orchestra this set up. The longer concert proceded the better it became. Both CD and DVD will be played many times.

Andre Rieu at the Royal Albert Hall, 2010-05-07
I have most of Andre Rieu's early concert DVDs and this was among the best. Entertaining, skilfully excecuted classical music, humorous bits throughout, beautiful to look at and listen to.

Rieu is fab : keep on dreaming, 2010-07-18
I just can't get enough of this man. This "DREAMING" cd is one of many recordings of his i have. It's excellent - just as all Andre Rieu cds are. This man can't go wrong - just check how many weeks he's been at no. 1 in the Classic FM charts : 26 WEEKS!!!!!!! Highly recommended.

Great Fun, And Relaxing, 2010-05-22
I bought Forever Vienna earlier on this year, and it was the first time I had really heard Andre Rieu. I love classical music, indeed when I was a mere nipper I had some of my dad's classical albums to play on an old record player. But I was also around when such things as the 'Classics go Pop' was starting up. I love listening to opera as well as just symphonies, etc. But some of the reviewers seem to be missing the point here.

Andre Rieu is trying to put the 'fun' back in music here, and give us something a little different, which he does with consummate ease. When the actual waltz was first introduced into this country it caused quite a stir. Men and women touched each other, and for a whole dance they could actually talk to each other. Nowadays that seems ridiculous with modern dance that is sometimes highly erotic.

People got over that, so come on everyone get over Andre. Like all types of music people have been tinkering with the classics since they first came on the scene, and many have their own interpretations. It is like going to see a play twice with different actors, they will inevitably be slightly different in interpretation.

I always believe that music should be fun and that is something that you should always enjoy, and Andre Rieu gives us that. His style is brilliant for sitting in traffic jams or commuting as well as sitting with your feet up relaxing with a cuppa at home. I find this album relaxing and fun, and as I suffer with severe depression I find that this makes things life feel that little bit better.

This is an unbelievable experience. Absolutely beautiful. The setting is wonderful - the music is out of this world and the singers are superb. If you love light music you will love this DVD

King of the Waltz by Royal Command, 2009-12-08
My copy of this CD and for which I did the review is called 'Andre Rieu Waltzes' with a different cover picture and now offered under this item. This is a splendid collection of cheery Waltz favourites with the odd Polka and March making a well thought out programme. The sound quality is excellent. It is ideal for playing on festive occasions or as a special gift now that Andre Rieu and his orchestra is appearing by Royal Command on the Royal Variety Show 2009 and is sure to capture even more fans. I was delighted to have the romantic Vilja Song and the charm of Village swallows with it's tinkling bells among other delights on this CD. If you like this CD you might also like the sensational 3 CD compilation 'Andre Rieu Eine Musikalische Traumereise' (an absolute bargain) which I have also reviewed

Magical indeed!, 2010-05-18
This is a fine collection of Andre Rieu's greatest performances both live in concert and studio recordings. The audio quality is crystal clear, and it has the best tracklisting out there, in my opinion. I can't wait to see him live!

My collection of Andre Rieu, 2010-06-27
As always, this is a splendid example of Andre Rieu's expertise! Both as a showman and a virtuoso of the violin. His playng is superb, and the sets have to be seen to be believed.

All in all, a tremendous asset to my collection!
