Fun fact: André Rieu is one of the world's most successful male touring artists, according to Billboard magazine.

Andre Rieu , always a twist in every show on tour. Enjoy it!

Andre is awesome. While not well-known in the pop music scene, he is very popular in Europe.

André Rieu siempre es fantástico, sus conciertos son espectaculares. Saludos desde Ciudad de Guatemala en Centro América.

He makes classical enjoyable for everyone. Its always fun to see what sort of act they come up with 😊

from the Netherlands thanks for the video Highly

I’ve met him a few times, he used to play tennis at the hotel (sort oriented hotel) I interned at decades ago.

This was a lot of fun thanks.

you have to listen to Andre Rieu play, compoosted by Sire Anthony Hopkins.

There is some other classical piece that's played with the anvil. I believe I once saw it at Heineken Night Of The Proms. I forgot the name of the piece though, although I do know how it goes. Pretty bombastic and it was once used in a Prodent commercial, many years ago. (Then without the anvils of course.) I believe that piece also sometimes is done with cannons like Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture"?

Dammit, I am now browsing through my classical music to find out which one I meant, haha! Anyway, another tip: Therion's version of o Fortuna. (Carl Orff) 2 Dutch artists also each made a version of that classic piece, but got in trouble for that. (Copyright infringement. His family didn't like what they did to that piece and one version actually got banned.)

@@laziojohnny79 Ah so that link doesn't get deleted. I guess it's up to the security settings of each channel? For me the version of Therion is special because it has a metal base. (Bit in the style of Floor Jansen's old band After Forever.) But thanks for the link, will check! If you would like to check out that song of Therion, you might enjoy the Misheard Lyrics version of it. Just like Nightwish's misheard lyrics of Wishmaster. OH!!! I will soon suggest that to Combustible through that form!!!!

@@MarcelNL No it's been on YT for years, as many other versions. I'm not much a metal fan really, but will check it out, or watch it when Highly reacts to your request.

Well, if you want to react to an amazing video of André Rieu you should check out this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4B7uKmem7O5qtI.html In this video he tells the story behind the waltz he is playing. This waltz is composed by none other than sir Anthony Hopkins.

Not very RocknRoll dude 😆😆😆
