Details: Product Description "The Waltz King of Europe" leads his Johann Strauss Orchestra in 15 festive melodies, from Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride" to Vivaldi's "Winter" (from Four Seasons). A hit on the Billboard classical chart, seen on public television, this is an "enchanting collection of holiday music"--All Music Guide. (67 mins) Amazon.ca For this album, André Rieu temporarily left the realm of three-beat dance. He leaves to explore a calmer repertoire made up of "lullables", "nocturnes" and other "andante". The charm operates just as much as in the more danceable albums of the famous violinist. André Rieu's arrangements are also very effective in rendering modern, while respecting them, the most famous melodies of the great masters of classical music. Praised be André Rieu if his discs allow as many people as possible to learn about the genius of the great composers. --Pierre Graveleau
