In these times of trouble and uncertainty, when you're feeling down, when things seem insurmountable, or you're just losing faith in humanity in general, listen to the music of André Rieu, especially his music videos.
His epic worldwide concerts draw thousands and celebrate the human spirit through music. I find them very uplifting, restoring my faith that humanity is still capable of doing wonderful things.
I hope you do to. :-)
A few of my favorites:
André Rieu - You'll Never Walk Alone
André Rieu - Nearer, My God, to Thee (live in Amsterdam)
Andre Rieu - Hallelujah (Cohen)
Makes sense. I’d love to go one in Australia, or New Zealand.
Well, there certainly is now! Thank you! One cannot help but get into the spirit.
Yes. Australia, or New Zealand would be great.
Amazing!
Indeed! Makes my heart soar! :)
His name is Teun Ramaekers, and I believe he’s been with JSO from the beginning. I see him in many of the oldest videos of JSO performances.
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for the links, I had never heard of him two hours ago, but now I'm a fan.
Do you know of any global locale where they might hold a festival of greats. Such as something a person like myself could fly to and enjoy for 3-7 days. Several exceptional performers. Or must it always be just one in say Germany or France. This is something I would very much love to do as singer, musician, and pianist. There is nothing more that brings me such joy that watching and listening to such exceptional artists. Pop is overrated. Ha! ;D
I’m a recent fan myself and amazed from the start. Just happy to share and thank you for sharing the odd coincidence. :)
Yes, Pop is overrated I agree.
Sorry I cannot answer your question on festival of greats. I just don’t know, but wouldn’t hesitate to ask those that have websites that might be they organizations involved, or even perhaps the Andre Rieu website might be able to answer your question as a courtesy. Who knows unless you try.
Best of luck.
Yes, that performance was great. Quite a young lady. There are videos of more of her performances on youtube.
Good night to all.

Andrea Rieu .....9/11.
Great music has a way of rejuvenating the spirit!
Nite...
Wow! Thanks
I think you will enjoy this, both links are the same piece - a waltz composed by Anthony Hopkins and a wonderful story to go with it:
