Andre Rieu

It is a real piece of art if you can make a waltz sound like it is the easiest piece of music to play, because it’s really not.

André Rieu

It is my personality alone that has brought back the waltz and made it a global craze.

André Rieu

Mozart composed his music not for the elite, but for everybody.

André Rieu

Other people might want a Ferrari, but I wanted a butterfly house. I built it together with a blacksmith. We designed it together.

André Rieu

People don’t come to my concerts because they know the program. They come because they love the atmosphere and because they know that when I offer them a program it will be a night they never forget.

André Rieu

The waltz can be sad and at the same time uplifting. You have to see life from both sides, and the waltz encapsulates that. If you’re in my audience you give yourself to me and the waltz will grab you.

André Rieu

When I’m not on tour, I love to have a long breakfast at home in my garden.

André Rieu

You go to a pop concert or a classical concert but there’s nothing in between.
