André Rieu was named the No. 2 Top Classical Artist by Billboard’s Best of 2006, and he was also awarded the Top Classical Album for “Tuscany” and “Live in Dublin” plus Top Classical Crossover Album for “At The Movies.” Rieu has toured in countries all over the world, including many stops in Japan, is considered an excellent conductor, a talented violinist, and a great showman. Overall, he has sold more than 22 million albums and CDs.

An Andre Rieu concert provides a greatest-hits progression of waltzes, marches, opera arias, show tunes, patriotic songs and famous melodies, all lavishly scored with swelling strings, pumped-up percussion, plenty of robust brass and a small soprano choir floating above it all like an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce on a decadent dessert.
