DVD Reviews of Andre Rieu - Tuscany
DVD Review: Don't miss the wonder of Andre Rieu in Tuscany
Summary: 5 Stars
On April 21st, Alessandra Prado, Carmen Bradley, Lina Navarini, Alexander J. Ariano and I had the opportunity to see Andre Rieu, LIVE, at the Bank Atlantic Center, in Sunrise, Florida, which he kept up calling Fort Lauderdale.
As he enters the room, the sounds of his violin capture our spirits and we knew we were in for a delightful experience. All orchestra members dressed to replicate the times when the Waltz was at its best, to share the magic of Vienna with fans, and to provide us with sheer enchantment through his music.
This is the second time we choose to see him in South Florida and something tells me that we shall continue to go to his concerts for as we watch him we fall under the spell of a man, who seems to love what he does so much, that as we watch we are filled with joy, as he conducts and plays some of the best music ever written.
So, we bought his Tuscany DVD to enjoy this program, which was taped live, outdoors in the Piazza de la Republica of the Italian city of Cortona. One of the amazing characteristics of Andre Rieu is his ability to speak whatever language his audience speaks, and here his charming Italian pronunciation captures our hearts.
This DVD offers English subtitles, an excellent feature if you do not want to miss any of his oratory, which puts his audience in sheer delight.
The music is superb, from the love theme of The Godfather, to Chanson d'Amour, to the classic William Tell Overture, to one of my favorite songs, La Paloma. He plays the Italian National Anthem to the delight of all present.
As with all his DVDs, all we have to do is close our eyes and see him on stage, his broad smile worn as a badge of courage to live life to its fullest, the twinkle in his eye making us wonder what to do to make sure we live our lives in such a way that we too learn to share the best of ourselves with humanity.
Sincerely thank my good fortune to be alive during the times when Andre Rieu is with us, for I have enjoyed his music tremendously.
Our group has decided to follow Andre Reiu's recommendations and we are planning to travel to Vienna 2008... to enjoy his music in Vienna, Austria... thanks to Andre Rieu... we shall visit in 2008!
Description of Andre Rieu - Tuscany
Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 09/21/2004Those who have enjoyed this program on PBS need only be told that it is available on home video. André Rieu is a master of light classical music, and here he is at his best. The program was taped live, outdoors in the Piazza de la Republica in the Italian cty of Cortona. Rieu addresses the audience in fluent but sometimes charmingly awkward Italian, with English subtitles. From the opening moments he has the vast crowd in the palm of his hand. They whistle for him in "Chanson d'amour," clap in unison for the "Toreador Song" from Carmen, the "Radetzky" march, and the galloping finales of the William Tell and Light Cavalry overtures, and sing along in "La donna e mobile," the drinking song from La traviata, and, most movingly, the Italian national anthem and "Va pensiero," which is almost a national anthem.
The music is basic classical top-40, with an emphasis on opera and a lot of Italian music, including "The Carnival of Venice" and the Grand March from Aida. The performances are full of energy and technically skilled. Rieu conducts, plays his violin, and generously shares the spotlight, notably with soprano Carmen Monarca, mezzo-soprano Carla Malfioletti, and several singing and dancing young ladies who might have stepped out of a Botticelli painting. Visuals include, besides the concert, a charming Tuscan landscape and a ride in a Venetian gondola. --Joe McLellan
