WebMommie has posted her very first contact with
Denon, showing she knew from the start, Denon's
André Rieu Ambassador was a US promotion.
Denon and WebMommie are working closely together
to promote our Magical Maestro. Join us
and sign up to be a Denon André Rieu Ambassador!
(It is sad other sites think
lying and insults will bring visitors to their
site. WebMommie notices very few people go to
the other sites. Perhaps this is due to their
being disrespected and lie to, with the
posting of false & fake information and the
blatant lies put forth by troubled individuals.
We at AndreRieuFans.com have found happiness and
honesty are what Andre Rieu Fans & Friends
Around the World want.)

Hello Dear Andre Rieu Fans & Friends Around
The World,
Let me start by saying how wonderful it was
to meet Friends I’ve met before, Friends I’ve
met via AndreRieuFans and now in person for the
first time, and the new Friends I met at the
concerts. I have never heard Andre Rieu say a
negative thing nor be rude, and his real fans
are the same way!
J
Always Nice, always Kind and always Friendly. Is
it the Music or the Man that brings out such
goodness? (Both?)
Watch for the new Words from the Webmaster,
coming soon to this site! The above is a sneak
peek at the photographs to come.

Congratulations to our Favorite Maestro!
He not only hold 9 spaces on Australia's top 10
DVD chart, but André Rieu is again #1 on
America's Billboard's Classical Chart!
Moving up to no. 1 on the classical chart this
week is crossover violinist André Rieu's
Radio City Music Hall: Live in New York,
which has climbed steadily from fifth place in
its four weeks in release. Back at no. 2 is
"Duets," the DG disc by Villazón and soprano
Anna Netrebko, which debuted in second place two
weeks ago and rose to the top slot last week.
Still at no. 4 is the aria-packed soundtrack
album to the restaurant comedy film No
Reservations. Slipping to no. 5 from its
perch atop the chart last week is Joshua Bell's
recording of John Corigliano's Red Violin
Concerto; at no. 6 is New Impossibilities
by Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble with the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Remaining at no. 7,
where it has been for all of its three weeks on
the chart, is another Rieu album,
Masterpieces. At no. 8 is
pianist Simone Dinnerstein's
acclaimed recording of Bach's Goldberg
Variations, followed by Ma's
Apppassionato and Bell's Voice of the
Violin to round out the top ten.

On Sale NOW!
The admiration for acclaimed
Dutch violinist, André Rieu, by his
Australian fans was evident prior to him
arriving in Australia by the 300,000-plus sales
of his DVDs and CDs in the last twelve months.
However his fans came out in force on Saturday
22nd at Eastland Shopping Mall (Melbourne) and
yesterday at Warringah Mall (Sydney), for
André’s only personal appearances in this
country.
André Rieu
made history when his personal appearance
generated sales of close to 1000 units at J.B.
Hi Fi in Melbourne on Saturday and was attended
by over 3000 people. It is estimated that around
7000 people were at the event in Warringah Mall
yesterday; Mall Music sold over 1000 units of
André Rieu product yesterday. "This is by far
the biggest personal appearance we have hosted
in over 26 years of retail," says Geoff
Bonouvrié, owner of Mall Music.
"He is the most important act the music
industry has seen for the last 10 years,"
says Songland Records owner and founder Brian
'Frog' Harris. "He is appealing to the
demographic that doesn't usually visit record
stores, is not over-concerned about price point
but is passionate about music.”
André released the following statement just
before departing Australia: "I'm
overwhelmed by the warm reception from the
Australian people. Everyone has been so friendly
and down-to-earth. I'm ecstatic about my
Australian chart success and I can't wait to
return for my concert tour in November 2008. I
feel that my life has entered a new phase and
Australia has played a very important role in
this.”
With worldwide sales of over 27 million units of
his recordings, André Rieu made his first visit
to Australia last week to promote his latest
recordings and to announce his concert tour
planned for November/December 2008. Whilst here,
André appeared on several TV and radio programs.
Radio station switchboards went into meltdown
when it was announced that André would be coming
on. It is unquestionably apparent that the
communicative power and flair of André Rieu have
travelled across the Pacific and arrived in
Australia.
At events held in Sydney and Melbourne last
week, André was presented with awards by George
Ash, Managing Director of Universal Music
Australia, to mark his spectacular sales success
in this country. André Rieu’s DVDs have
overwhelmed the DVD charts since the release of
New York Memories in April this year, with seven
titles in the Top Ten DVD chart this week
(including the first three positions) and ten in
the top fourteen. In fact, since April, André
Rieu DVD titles have never been out of the Top
Ten DVD charts and in the last 3 months his
titles have occupied nearly 50% of the Top Ten
DVD chart real estate.
Dates to André Rieu’s concert tour will be
announced later this year and are set to include
dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide
and Perth.
Television viewers will be pleased to know that
the Ovation channel will continue to broadcast
André Rieu TV specials for the foreseeable
future, with a couple of Australian André Rieu
specials due for broadcast in December.
October 6 sees the release of the DVD and CD of
La vie est belle (“Life is Beautiful”)
and November will see the release of the
fairytale spectacular, André in Wonderland
in CD, DVD and High-Definition DVD formats.
