"This is a montage of scenes and songs of a variety of Rieu's concerts with some commentary. It is fantastic to introduce a novice to the world of Andre Rieu. The extremely low price of a DVD and a treasured CD combo was irresistible to send as a much appreciated gift to 8 of my select friends.
I have seen pretty well all of Andre's concerts and that makes this DVD such a treasure as it brings back fond memories of many of his performances. This CD and DVD like no other occupies front and center stage on my entertainment center."
Excellent
