Andre Rieu

[quinie]

Anyone watching the Andre Rieu Christmas Concert tonight? I love his concerts and am looking forward to the Glasgow one next week.A friend was at the one last night and said it was wonderful.Of course this type of music isn't everybody's cup of tea.Any real music lovers out there??

Buenchico,that was lovely.I realise it was daft of me to use the words "real music",but you've described perfectly what I meant.
Must admit I was brought up on Bothy Ballads or Cornkisters!

Ok thankyou I have put the tv on to tape it for me. Ok not tape but you know what I mean.! lol
For people who didnt like classic music before Andre makes it sounds so much nicer. Yes he plays a lot of music that everyone must know. Old and new tunes.
I have even got my husband and friends onto Andre Rieu's music. We cannot like everything that other people do , it is a matter of taste.
I am so excited about seeing him and my husband is also looking forward to it.

I love Andre Rieu, can't afford the tickets for his shows, but a local cinema was broadcasting one last year and I really enjoyed it. I like all types of music, including pop, but don't like folk or modern jazz.

Was at Andre's concert at SECC on 12.12.12. What a night, but SECC must seem like a dump compared to his usual venues. I have been on a high since, but I think we ladies secretly love him and the men want to be him... Go on, admit it. What elegance, with a twinkle in his eye. I now have six DVDs of him ... Maastricht here I come !!

was there as well Leonardo. felt sorry for the ones that had the fake snow dumped on them.
What you say about the SECC is true, it narrowly falls short of playing a gig in a garage.
Enjoyed the concert though, and looking forward to seeing him again.

Was at the Andre Rieu concert last week at the SECC in Glasgow. Absolutely fabulous night - sheer entertainment - fun from start to finish. Wasn't a fan before but friend persuaded me to go. Certainly a fan now.

felt myself "filling up" maggie at the end when they played amazing grace. It was a fantastic night so it was.

I was at the concert in Glasgow too.Absolutely wonderful-pity about the"Romantic Hall" but i don't think Andre minded too much. The finale just put the finishing touch to an evening of great entertainment.I have 19 recordings of his concerts which were on Sky Arts and several DVDs. Watch them when I want to relax.Hope he makes a return visit to Britain soon.

if he mentioned "romantic hall" once quinie he mentioned it a dozen times. Thinking about going to see him in Germany 2014. Again quinie it was a fantastic concert and I loved every minute of it.
