Once again a fantastic DVD from André Rieu: two-and-a-half hours of heart-warming music and fabulous photography, all recorded in Vienna, musical capital of the world. Gorgeous Viennese waltzes, songs and marches, famous Viennese operettas, dances, beautiful costumes, the Johann Strauss Orchestra enjoying skating by the Vienna Town Hall (to the strains of a Viennese waltz of course) the golden coach with six white horses... and of course André in his starring role as conductor, violinist and entertainer. In short, you will hardly be able to take in so much beauty all at once! But luckily you can put a DVD on and enjoy it again and again.

The Vrijthof concerts have been going for ten years and this anniversary was all the excuse André Rieu needed to make things extra festive and put on a fantastic, unforgettable anniversary concert with his new DVD, ‘Love In Venice’ – a selection of favourites from the concert.

Love In Venice is an evening full of wonderful Italian music, world hits like Funiculi funicula, Tiritomba and Vieni sul mar and fabulous operatic arias. For the occasion of this anniversary, the Italian singer Rocco Granata came to sing his world hit Marina.

Vivo en Buenos Aires es un DVD (obviamos el comentario del CD, que contiene siete temas menos, por razones obvias) de interesantísima factura artística y que muestra cabalmente lo que ofrece Kevin Johansen en cada una de sus actuaciones, manteniendo el mismo espíritu incluso de aquellas series de actuaciones en lugares intimistas como Notorious hace ya casi una década. Una suerte de grandes éxitos en vivo que no admite demasiados reparos, más allá de las preferencias personales de cada uno (me anoto, total es gratis, con La procesión, Me fui pa'l Monte, No me abandones, Ni idea). Kevin Johansen tiene, en The Nada, a un combo numeroso que no solamente patea hacia el mismo arco sino que, conscientes de sus bondades y limitaciones, se la pasan entre ellos; y encontró en Liniers a un aliado no forzado que ha sabido comprender (y reflejar) con certeza para qué lado queda el arco contrario. Y todos disfrutan. Arriba y debajo del escenario.
