Andre Rieu: He has become a household name, someone from every corner of the WORLD knows of this wondrous man & the wonderful members of his JSO. You cannot help but fall in LOVE with Andre Rieu's music and yes, THE MAN himself. Such love and warmth, encompasses you, as you see him in concert, on PBS, listen to CD's, or see him on DVD.

I have many of Andre's CD's, which give me hours of happiness being taken back in time, through his magnificent waltzes. His unique way of exciting and stirring the audience to a fever pitch of love for his music. The way Andre has the audience, happy, forgetting their problems, living for this moment as well as participating, dancing, singing along with him, in the streets in some of Andre's concerts or in theaters. Seeing their smiles, the tears of appreciation for this Wonderful Gift from GOD, known as Andre Rieu.

No matter what song Andre plays,
Love is generated from him to you.

How can we ever really thank this gracious man and intoxicating man, people lover, music lover, who is so down to earth, showing the love he has for his family, the JSO & his crew, his life, his thankfulness for the gift he has?

Yes, we can do something in our own way. See Andre' in concerts, on his CD's, DVD, books etc. For those who do not have these things, let us all tell you to invite Andre into your homes.

Once this MAN visits you, you will never want him to leave. And he won't leave us, for we have his works to listen to and hear that will stay with us forever.

I also use Andre's CD's for pain therapy, for myself for a long time & it helps me relax and loosen up. It fills my heart with such JOY I forget my pain. Andre is the last song I hear at bedtime.
My love for music has been with me from a very young age, classical being one of my favorites. Andre, as I have said before, has given Classical Music a brand new FACE, Brand new SMILE, a Brand NEW WAY, by presenting it with his determination, dedication & dancing

"TO THE BEAT OF YOUR OWN DRUMMER."..

God Bless Forever Andre'. Live well past 100, so all the little ones growing up, now, can also hear & see you in their twilight years.

MY NEW FAMILY AND ANDRE' RIEU

It was January of 2005, I was reading "Post A Message" on Andre's' site. I posted an e saying I so much wanted to see Andre's Concert (whom I adore) in Trenton, NJ. But as I called many ticket agencies was told they were all sold out. This, my first time being able to see Andre', I was so disappointed, as this also was to be My Birthday Gift to "MYSELF" The Gift of Andre' Rieu, and his JSO, I was thrilled, till that call.

In my e-mail posting to Andre's site, I mentioned the above. The next day I went back to site, and found a message for me, to E-mail "Laurie". I quickly did so. *This was one of the best things that has happened to me, Laurie...In her email back, gave me so much information. Numbers to call for tickets, sites to visit, to find out more info, also, names & e addresses for Sally & Sonja. I wanted for so many years to see Andre Live in Concert, in addition to TV & CD's & Thanks to Laurie, I now have another "Family". (By now you all know how much Family means to me)

From page to page I read of Concerts, photos, of Andre' & his JSO, it just increased my desire to see this Wondrous Man. It was a thirst, a hunger to JUST DO IT. One page & site led to another! Visiting all the web sites, I was in awe of the work of this most informative work, done by the women for Andre. The dedication & hard work, was second to none.

I know of only a few of the wonderful people who are involved in this project, who work so tirelessly, diligently, providing us with Concert agenda, info, working on cross stitch, the Oprah Project and so Much more! One site takes you to another glorious site. So much Work these Wonderful Hands, Minds and Hearts create. What a blessing they are. (Getting out the tissues) .... Their sites are full of Love and Warmth for this Unique Genius of A MAN called Andre Rieu and his Magnificent JSO. All equivalent to a "Kings Ransom".

These women have brought so much Happiness, Love and the Joining of Hearts and Hands, to Unite AS One, in so many parts of the World, Near and Far. Please accept my admiration and praise to All Of You,
"My New Found Family"...who continues to grow each day!

Thank You Again, Laurie.

A Thankful Heart.

 

ANDRE' RIEU: WHAT I SEE

The Eyes, The Face, it tells it all: The Joy, Enthusiasm, The Stirring of Emotions. The Adrenaline Rush.

It is beginning. I can feel the anticipation aglow in my Heart. My First Time Seeing Andre' Rieu Live, and his extended Family, His Beloved Orchestra. The lights, the most beautiful gowns, the music filling the air, my heart pounding, I'm finally here. Andre' plays on His Strings with so much Love radiating from his face, the hands that move so gently, so mighty, so powerful, full of emotion and Depth. To be able to feel what Andre' is feeling, aware of what his Orchestra is feeling as they follow This Giant of a Man, called Andre' Rieu.

One song after another is taking me to a Special Place, a Special time, to remember that Special Someone. An escape to a timeless zone, a place for me to forget everything, except what is happening before my very eyes. Each beat of the music calls to me, taking me to Knights and Chivalry, to the Beautiful Danube, to foreign places across the Seas. The most Special Romance Tales of Love, as I see lovely women in Beautiful Gowns and their Mates whirling and swirling to the Beautiful Waltzes, led by Andre". The singing is that of a choir of Angels, Alone or in Unison.

I am sure the Heavens are Weeping with Joy that Andre' Rieu, has more than gone forth to do what was written in the Stars, for This Giant Of A Man called Andre' Rieu. He spreads his Love WorldWide.

The Joy in my heart is so overflowing; I want to keep it Locked Within. To shelter it, nourish it, to hold on tight so that whenever I feel the need for this feeling it shall always be there, Time after Time. Andre' Rieu, Your JSO, Singers, and all involved in this Array of Beauty has touched me so deeply, I shall Never Forget This Night, I shall Forever be Grateful To All Of You.

The Concert draws to a close, with the Memory I hold Dear for Many Reasons. The Smiles, The Tears of Joy, The dancing couples, and finally a release of Happy Dancing Balloons. Could I ask for more? Beams of Love are Flowing, Hearts Coming Together. You, Andre' Rieu are responsible for ALL of THIS. You have Given so Much To The World of Music! God Bless and Many More continued Years of "YOUR GIFT".

I left the Concert with a Song In My Heart and A Thank You On My Lips, for the opportunity to be a part of this Magnificent "Family".
