Andre Rieu

[bibblebub]

I feel that I ought to hate the tv concerts with a vengeance, even more so because a lot of it is sooo cheesy, but I do watch the concerts sometimes. Am I a classical music snob or is it simply that it makes a change from the ubiquitous pop music on just about every tv channel?

cannot stand the andre rieu concerts.i mean why does he have to be playing the violin all the f*****g time when he as an orchestra behind him already playing the violin.his hair is a joke,and the way the orchestra get up and do there little bit..i feel like kicking the tv...its so annoying..and the crowd f*****g prancing about thinking that they are cultured because they are at a rieu gig.....aarrgghhhhhh

he is a brilliant musician and doesn't just do cheesy, if you watch any number of his concerts they are lively, entertaining and sometime downright wonderful. His orchestra must be exhausted though as they seem to be touring much of the time.
