Format:Audio CD
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.

What a fantastic CD I play it nearly every day. The music is brilliant, so much dancing and singing to the waltzes I'm worn out at the end! The ballads like Theme to Romeo and Juliet are so full of emotion they make me cry. His musical interpretations are unbelieveable he is one of the greatest violinists in the world today. Buy the CD and listen for yourself.

Kitsch travesty of the original music
This is a true insult to the composers Rieu uses for his commercial' exercise. The simple point is that J Strauss and the other composers he uses eg. Read more
