Maestro Rieu just might be the 'second coming' of Strauss, in that he may not be able to compete with the composing talents of the 'Strauss's, he most certainly excels in his execution of fine music that is so lacking in today's somewhat sick world. I have a very special place for this modern greatness on my 'Pandora' radio.

Andre Rieu is a consumate musician and a showman par excellence. It makes me green with envy to see some of the European locations that he uses as settings for his performances. There is nothing in this country which looks like those palaces and the central courts of some of their cities and towns.

I have seen this performance of the Beautiful Blue Danube many times before, it is one of my favorite waltzes. Fortunately, U-tube is loaded with his performances.

Here are some of the most recent things I listened to, if you want a few laughs try the PDQ Back - Peter Shickele pieces. The rest are Russian - Hungarian, the Song of the Volga Boatmen features one of the best operatic bass singers I've ever heard.

One of my favorites by Rieu is Bolero. I love that piece of music by anybody as good as he is.

I listened to most of your music and was reminded that I never hear Malaguena without listening to Roy Clark play it. Many suggest that Spanish people play better, but I don't agree.

I love foreign music or cultural music from other countries!! So unique and different it allows you to feel their culture..

Must tell you PDQ was funny yet played beautifully too..,

Red ArmyChour definetly has its own true flair of pride in their music and my favorite You listed , other than Ava Maria was The Cossack Song..

The Hungarian and Gypsey very true to their heritage and very much enjoyed listening to them .. I saved them to my music library, opening another file for Music of other cultures~~ Thank You, a nice addition I will build upon!!

Had to post this one! I've been to a couple Greek Weddings and those people know how to celebrate!!! What weddings lasts to 3am with everyone dancing all over, table tops included??!!! Lololol.. They think nothing of grabbing you in a swoshhh motion and there you are on a table with them dancing at your feet., laughing and carrying on... I had a ball and learned the Greek dance (horos)?as said and
Of course the Sirtaki... Everyone knows and dances it.. no set strict motion involved and fun, fun, fun!!!!

Another excellent selection. About a month ago I was thing about universal motifs in poetry, literature and music. I began setting my thoughts down in an essay. I kept remembering other archtypes but I had completely forgotten Zorba the Greek. Nothing else evokes the idea of the Greek spirit as well and I will be incorporating in whatever direction my essay takes. Thank you for the reminder.
