- Andre Rieu: Dreaming

I really liked this dvd and enjoyed the music and photography. I thought the whole dvd was exceptional. I liked the commentary was great about his life.

I have been an Andre Rieu fan but not after Dreaming. It is nothing but a collection of out takes which should have been included on his other CDs.One reason I have been a Rieu fan is that his DVDs feature lively concerts. The Dreaming DVD not only does not contain a live concert, the music is dull, poorly arranged and poorly played. And there is just too damn much of Rieu and too little of the orchestra."La vie est belle" is one of Rieu's better DVDs. It was a concert in Berlin. The biggest gripe I have with Rieu's DVDs is that they contain only a part of the concerts, concerts which go on for two hours but less than an hour is on the DVD. Not in Dreaming. There are no concerts, only two 42 minute segments and no interesting extra features. The first segment contains some of the later music in the "La vie est belle" concert. Viewers of that DVD will remember that Rieu mentions that it might rain. Well it did rain and portions are shown in Dreaming.After watching this DVD I was so disgusted that I threw the DVD in the waste basket. Then I thought again. I pulled it out because I mmight give it to someone else. But then that would be such a dirty trick to do to anyone so I again threw it in the trash.

This DVD is different than the other of Andre's DVDs I have. It does not take place in one venue. The music is beautiful a usual. Most of it is performed in casual outdoor settings with the orchestra members in street clothes. The looks behind the scenes, some including members children, are delightful. Andre provides some narration and insight into his personal life. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend this DVD to long time fans and new acquaintances as well.

I have never disliked anything Andre recorded. His presentations are always fresh and unique. This dvd called Dreaming is great because he talks and explains his feelings on making music and some of the backgrounds of he and his orchestra. It makes you feel somehow like you have become a friend and he wants you to know what he thinks of the music and the people surrounding him. I have most of his dvds and although some of the musical selections are the same beloved favorites, they are always presented in a down to earth people pleasing way that delights both young and old listeners.

I ordered it by mistake since I had it before and liked it very much, I gave this one to my daughter,Eva Vencl

I received this DVD with much surprise:this is actually the DVD version for Andre's last CD "Musik zum Traurmen" (also known as Aimer/Dromen/Dreaming) released in 2001, not for the new US version "Dreaming" CD though they share the same cover (only four tracks are the same). It seems that Andre does confuse his fans and Amazon's editor misled their customers. However, I love this DVD just the same because this is a great performance with very beautiful music and Andre presents each piece by himself. I won't regret to have it even I already have the video. Any Andre's fan should buy this.

I have both the DVD and the CD of Dreaming. It is absolutely one of my favorites. It starts off with oneof his own compositions and I particularly like his violin. It is one of his older programs and I think theviolin was more prominent in his earlier work. I love the violin and enjoy hearing him play.

I gave this DVD to my aunt for her 82nd birthday and before she could look at it, her home burned to the ground in the big Sylmar fire, so we can't review it.When I submitted the above review, I thought perhaps Amazon, out of the goodness of their heart, would replace the burned product. That did not happen. It would have been worth the good public relations.

These six Andre Rieu discs are to be x-mas gifts and therefore will not be opened until X-mas so will not be rated until the new year. I have , at this time, only received only four, the rest will arrive sometime in Oct.

世界でＴＯＰクラスの人気を誇るＲＩＥＵ　これはいままでとは違いプロモーションビデオ８割イメージ映像オーケストラメンバー+コンサート映像で構成されている、ＣＤドリーミングとほぼ同じ構成です　彼がいかに世界に受け入れたかの映像美でみせる彼の｛古城も見ることができて桁違いである｝ほんとうに毎回思うが音楽の楽しさを教えてくれる偉大な人であるリージョンフリーただＲＩＥＵインタビューが一曲一曲解説収録してあり英語のわかりない自分としては残念だ

This DVD is the one which brings tears. It is absolutely one of the most beautiful videos I have seen. The very romantic music is so gentle and soothing and soul stirring. Thank you, Andrè Rieu for the personal touches.

good product

This is how I wanted to see and hear the heart of Andre, relaxed at home, sitting crossed legged and giving an insight to his musical life. It is for me an hour and a half of relaxing, just listening to Andre playing some beautiful classical pieces solo, no hype, just fantastic countryside to accompany the music. For me this was the DVD that confirmed that he is ( in my opinion) the finest violinist I have ever heard, and I believe that is because it comes from his heart. He speaks about his childhood and his Father's influence, he is a dreamer, no doubt about that and a romantic, and I truly feel that is what makes him so magical. Buy this DVD, it is a joy, sit back and relax, and let Andre take you into his world.
