Full live concert of André Rieu at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria, filmed in 2006. This full concert presents the Dutch violinist and conductor leading his Johann Strauss Orchestra, joined by his vocal soloists, in the baroque setting of the former imperial Habsburg residence. A great populariser of classical music, André Rieu unfolds a Viennese repertoire of waltzes, polkas and operetta arias — the world of the Strauss family — blended with popular pieces and international standards, in the spectacular, festive staging that built his global success. The recording, made in professional conditions, conveys the theatricality, the precision of the orchestra and the closeness he keeps with his audience. This live concert is representative of an artist who fills the world’s biggest venues by making classical music accessible to the widest public. An ideal document for lovers of classical music, Viennese waltz and grand concerts staged in a heritage setting, preserved in full from one of his most iconic locations.
