Hello everyone!
It's April so it's André Rieu month here!
Each week throughout this month, I will be celebrating my favourite violinist/conductor. As you can see from the history of this series, I am quite a keen fan of André's music thanks to his effervescent stage presence. The way he can light up the stage with his demeanour and yet not steal any of the spotlight from the featured artists of his Johann Strauss Orchestra shows to me the true mark of a professional knowing it is not just about them.
For week one in April we are going to be listening to Music of the Spheres...
Music of the Spheres
The way he can bring out so much emotion from an instrument is second to none, in my opinion. By arranging the sound in such a way that it often feels like his instrument is the centrepiece of the orchestra, yet never are they actually drowned out by what he brings to each composition.
Next time I will be looking at another one taken from his album "Amore", available now at Amazon.
Until then...
