 Denon Classics is excited to announce
the CD and DVD release of "Tuscany' from
composer/conductor and violinist Andre
Rieu. Filmed in picturesque Cortona,
Italy, Rieu's new PBS Special (his 11th
special for PBS) features the performer
along with his Johann Strauss Orchestra
and soloists performing romantic
classics in the main courtyard of the
historic Tuscan town. Rieu's concerts
have gained increasingly larger
audiences due to the success of his
previous special, "Live in Dublin" the
#1 pledge drive program of last year for
PBS. "Tuscany" is set to surpass that
success and dominate the fall pledge
drives this year. Also known as "The
Waltz King of Europe", the Dutch born
violinist consistently tops the
classical charts since his first
recording and has recently seen all of
his new Denon releases become best
sellers each cracking the Top 5
Billboard's prestigious Classical
charts. With his Holland-based
orchestra, Andre Rieu has electrified
audiences worldwide with his unique
musical vision - blending classical and
pop elements, rhythm and dance into a
charismatic event. It's a vision that
has solidified Rieu's reputation as one
of the premier live performers. Filmed
live during a performance in Cortona, a
city fifty miles southeast of Florence,
"Tuscany" captures the essence of the
region in musical arrangements that
evoke romance and timeless beauty.
The 15 sweeping, emotional compelling
compositions on "Tuscany" magnificently
capture the whimsy and lushness of the
North Alps province, considered by many
to be Italy's most beautiful. Gently
rolling hillsides, vineyards, olive
gardens, farmhouses and castles - the
quintessential picturesque Italian
scene. The set begins with the haunting
"Romance Anonyme" and continues through
a selection of favorites and new
additions to the repertoire. Respighi's
"Italiana", Jacques Offenbach's
"Barcarolle", "Lagune Waltz" by Strauss
are performed along with the big band
flavored "Chanson d'Amour" a 1958 hit by
the Fontaine Sisters.
In Europe, Rieu's sold out stadium
concerts and bestselling hit albums have
made him a virtual pop star. Having
attained multiple Platinum and Gold
awards for sales in Germany, France and
Holland he is currently the best selling
instrumentalist in Europe- Pop or
Classical! "From Holland With Love', his
breakthrough top 5 of the German Pop
music chart for over 6 weeks earlier
this year. His television specials air
through out the continent and have won
numerous local awards. His progress in
the United States is equally impressive
as he attained more Top 5 charting
albums in the U.S. than any other
Classical instrumentalist last year.
Born into musical family (his father was
a conductor), Rieu became very familiar
with the world of classical music at an
early age. He fell in love with the
violin immediately after his first
lessons at age 5. His love of classical
music was tempered only by the
overwhelming solemnity he felt at
concerts emanating from the audience.
Rieu's performances and charismatic
showmanship aim to sweep the audience up
into the joy of the music, creating an
interactive emotional and physical bond
unique to the classical concert circuit.
His many world tours have earned him a
legion of dedicated fans the world over
and this years successful U.S. tour will
be followed up by a Spring 2005 visit by
the conductor and his orchestra to
America's eastern cities.
Denon Classics is a division of the
Savoy Label Group which is the North
American unit of Columbia Music
Entertainment (formerly Nippon
Columbia), the oldest music company in
Japan. Newly reorganized and now headed
by Chairman Strauss Zelnick, Columbia
Music Entertainment has reemerged as a
significant force with a stable of newly
signed platinum-selling artists.
