Music reviews of Forever Vienna (Deluxe)

Music Review: A critical note
Rating: 1 Stars

Mr Rieu is quite a nice fellow with a pleasant, if at times slightly insipid, sense of humour and a keen business acumen. He got bored as the leader of a provincial Dutch symphony orchestra (no great wonder, what with their programming of the perennial favourites over and over again and pedestrian standard of musicianship, Rieu included; they have in the mean time mended their ways though), started a small string band which led an only marginally successful existence and every once in a while toured with a pick-up band recreating the music of the Strauss family and like composers. Since his chance hit "The Second Waltz", a watered down version of a Shostakovitch composition, he has seen the light and has since that time carefully edited, truncated and simplified the lighter classics and "classified" all kinds of overly familiar music. He dressed-up the lady musicians as fairy princesses, made his male musicians smirk, and have them all gaily wave their instruments and display publicly what a good time they all seem to be having (all carefully rehearsed, as are Rieu's carefully edited jokes; very little happens spontaneously). This eclectic mixture seems to hold an enormous appeal for millions of CD and DVD buyers and concert goers. No problem there. I do however have a problem with the fact that many "fans" seem to think that what Rieu presents is classical music, the real stuff. Actually, no, it's not. They also seem to think that Rieu is the world's greatest violinist; well, he plays a Stradivarius, so he should be, shouldn't he?. Well, no, he's not. Why do these "fans", without knowing Mozart from Wagner and a symphony from a concerto, so vociferously state that Rieu is the greatest, without ever having taken the trouble to listen to classical music (other than perhaps a Strauss waltz or a Puccini aria by Paul Potts or that Scottish hag whose name escapes me right now), and that all who say otherwise are snobs, elitist, intellectual, arrogant and grumpy old men, who sit in cheerless concert halls listening to penguins playing music that no one understands? It's that ill-informed, lazy, overawed and reveling-in-an-underdog-position what irks me about the hype around Mr Rieu (for which he himself can hardly be blamed) and is reason for me to counterbalance the silly raving reviews ("me mum likes it, so it must be good") with one star.

Description of Forever Vienna (Deluxe)

With many millions of records and concert tickets sold worldwide, André Rieu is the undisputed "King Of The Waltz." Now, releasing for the first time in America, is Forever Vienna, a once-in-a-lifetime CD+DVD combination that features André's greatest performances on the violin, as he leads his renowned Johann Strauss Orchestra.

Forever Vienna was an international sensation across Europe. This U.S. edition features such beloved titles as the "Strauss & Co." medley, "Carnival Of Venice," "Wine, Women And Song" and many more, all arranged by André - plus an exceptional DVD, featuring sensational highlights from two of Andre's recent (and many) worldwide concerts: "Live In Australia" and "Live in Maastricht III." Both are introduced by a newly created video that is sure to thrill fans and serve as an introduction to the singular Andre Rieu experience.

Music has a healing quality," André says. "Scientists have proved that. It's the way we play music. We are not on stage to show how good we are. We are on stage to make people have a wonderful time. It sounds like a cliché, but I know it's true."
