"This is one of Andre's older CD's. I for one love it. It makes you feel as if you are in the concert hall. And Rieu concerts are always a party. If you have never enjoyed one of his live concerts, go to one, they are so much fun. He will be in the States in April/May 2004. see his site www.andrerieu.com. It is a live album indeed taped at a concert. This is for the previous reviewer that is what is means if a CD says it is live. If that is not what you like get one of his other CDs. A new one just came out and has a large variety of music on it. It is called Romantic paradise."
A Cheap Imitation of an "Album"

"The recording engineers apparently placed some microphones around a hall, where Rieu and a handful of musicians were performing, and obtained a cheap (in terms of costs to the producers and in terms of quality of the music and sonics) so-called album for Rieu fans. The recording is little more than an extended sing-a-long (or "hum-a-long," when the probably partying audience members do not know the lyrics.)"
