Andre Rieu's Success In The UK
London - January 29, 2010 André Rieu adds to a string of successes The Dutch violinist, André Rieu may not be a household name among British teenagers but he has taken the pop world by storm – he was at number six again in the pop music charts at the beginning of the week and since moved up in the midweek charts to number four, above Lady Gaga, and quickly closing in on the top three – Alicia Keys, Paolo Nutini and Florence and the Machine. It would be a triumph for the crossover appeal of classical music if he made the No. 1 slot this weekend. The last violinist to get to number three in the pop charts was Nigel Kennedy with The Four Seasons – over 20 years ago! Rieu's feat may be all the greater as an unknown violinist with an album of purely Strauss waltzes. We wait with baited breath until Sunday.

This is really amazing. I bet he will make number one. What does everyone else think? Rather than using the photos which are shown with the articles, I am trying to use some of the photos we have from our concerts. If you do not want your photos used (your name would be on the photo) please let us know and we will not use them. I thought this would be a good way to see the fan photos. Hugs

Hi Alan.,
Trust U have seen the adds first
show in London 02 -22nd sept 2010
prices compared with Europe are
very reasonable bearing in mind approx 2/3 hours of great music well worth the
money and effort and I think for me
is a toss up between London or B'ham

I want to know if and when does Andre
Rieu does any concerts in the UK.
Hope someone can help, Jim Barr
You are just a great violinist
Can anyone tell me when Andre Rieu will be performing in the UK? Scotland would be preferable but I think I'd manage England, depending on when/where the concert would be. Hope someone can help.
Thank you.
Hi Could you please tell me if andre is coming to the uk this year, have bought the cd and it is absolutely fantastic
Perhaps he will say on the March 12, Alan Titschmarsh show. ITV
How could he our dear André be anything else BUT number one.The English are not stupid and they love him conclusion number one,numero uno YUMM youthful, unrivalled magical musical Maestro and Marjorie
Not sure if this is the right place to post this heads up but I'm sure it can be moved if necessary. Just to say that here in the UK, Sky Arts 2 and Sky Arts 2 HD are broadcasting a series of Andre Rieu concerts at 8pm on Saturdays. Yesterday evening was the Tuscany concert billed under the title "Romantic Paradise". It's repeated again today (Sunday) at 6.30pm.
I've always wanted to see a recording of this concert having loved the "Once Upon a Time in the West" upload on U Tube. Unfortunately I can only find the DVD in NTSC format and I don't have a multi-region player. I only discovered the Sky broadcast about 15 minutes beforehand, but in HD it was brilliant. Next Saturday is "Live in Maastricht 2".
