ALBUM

"Hey! Who died and made you Waltz King?" If such a query were addressed to André Rieu, the answer would clearly be Johann Strauss Jr., whose performance methods and successes have been emulated by the charismatic Dutch violinist. And why not? Strauss was the original classical-pop crossover sensation, leading his orchestra with fiddle in hand and giving audiences around the world a steady diet of two-step trifles and three-quarter time confections. The formula seems to work as well today as ever, and moreover, Rieu leads his band with an easy sense of style and humor that seems quite in keeping with the music. This disc contains something of a greatest hits package, leading with a suave arrangement of the Waltz No. 2 from the 'Jazz Suite' of Dmitri Shostkovich that Rieu has managed to turn into something of a pop hit. There is, of course, plenty of Strauss family music to go around--nine items in all--with some Franz Lehár thrown in, including the 'Merry Widow' waltz. One particular highlight is Anton Karas' theme to the film THE THIRD MAN with its famous zither solo adroitly handled by Frédéric Jenniges.
