André Rieu was fond of fairytales from an early age. For his show André Rieu In Wonderland, he collected the most beautiful fairytale melodies. This album therefore features classics by Strauss, Mozart and Grieg brotherly alongside Gershwin (Porgy & Bess), The Wizard Of Oz and Tulpen Uit Amsterdam. In the Netherlands, the show was performed on two dates in De Efteling. On stage, in addition
… to Rieu's 65-piece orchestra, the fairies, cowards, fakirs and fairytale princesses came and go. This album was not recorded live, but in André Rieus's own studio in Maastricht. A DVD of the concert in the Efteling will be released at the same time as this CD. With the CD / DVD André Rieu again confirms his unique position in the music world. There are very few Dutch artists who approach their business as grandly as Rieu. (PdK)more
