André Rieu, the popular Limburg violinist and conductor of the Johann Strauss Orchestra, has already made a great deal of beautiful music in his productive life. In his own words, the album Songs From My Heart contains a selection of music pieces that touched him so much that they have been given a special place in his heart. The music arranged by Rieu and Steijns varies from romantic to cheerful,
… from a selection from Rodrigo's famous guitar concert and a waltz by Shostakovich to Milord by Piaf and music from the musicals My Fair Lady and Cats. The music is partly instrumental and partly vocal, with beautiful solo parts by members of the Johann Strauss Orchestra and contributions from various sopranos, tenors and choir. (SvdP)more
