Album review: Forever Vienna - André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra
THE charismatic Dutch violinist André Rieu – something of a sex symbol in the world of Viennese music – conducts his own orchestra in a truly tuneful selection of music by the great waltz king, Johann Strauss, as well as Rossini and Ravel.
Like Strauss himself, Rieu conducts with his bow, leading the orchestra in such sweet musical confections as The Blue Danube and The Merry Widow.
True romantics will adore Lehar’s You Are My Heart’s Delight.
