Falling in Love with André Rieu

Charismatic classical superstar unveils his romantic new album ahead of major UK Arena tour

André Rieu, AKA ‘The King of the Waltz’, is setting hearts a flutter with his new album ‘Falling In Love’ – to be released on 25^th November, ahead of his UK arena tour with his Johann Strauss Orchestra.

‘Falling in Love’ features beautiful ballads and hits from universally-loved movies, combined with evergreen melodies that have touched the hearts of millions over the last six decades. Romantic classics on the album range from ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ and ‘My Heart Will Go On’ (from ‘Titanic’) to new versions of ‘The Lonely Shepherd’ (the wistful theme heard in ‘Kill Bill’ in 2004) here featuring the original Romanian panflutist Gheorghe Zamfir, and the 1970’s hit ‘Sleepy Shores’ (the theme from the ‘70s TV series ‘Owen, M.D.’).

André Rieu Falling In Love

André Rieu says:

“When people come to my concerts they fall in love with each other all over again. Couples are swept off their feet as they dance in the aisles, smiling in each other’s arms. There is no better recipe for love than beautiful music and I want to capture that romance on my new album.”

An undeniable romantic himself, Rieu fell in love with his teenage sweetheart Marjorie and they’ve been happily married for over 40 years.  What’s more, 13 couples have found themselves in Rieu’s team – his big ‘Johann Strauss Family’ – proving  that work and love can be balanced perfectly well if you are surrounded by this romantic music every day!

A musical phenomenon, André Rieu is unlike anything else in the entertainment world. Along with his Orchestra, Rieu has created a global revival in waltz music with his spectacular extravaganzas.  He has sold over 35 million discs, received 487 Platinum Awards, 271 Gold Awards and is in fact the biggest solo male touring artist in the world – more successful, in ticket sales, than Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay and AC/DC. His onstage charisma and rock-star demeanour make Rieu’s shows the only classical concerts where people literally jump to their feet and dance in the aisles. 

Rieu and his impressive 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra will take their stunning live show to 11 arenas across the UK and Ireland in December:
