Violinist André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra regularly tour the world with their eye-catching shows, combining romantic classical music with beautiful costumes and entertainment. Rieu also achieved enormous success in 'the land of unprecedented possibilities'. With his orchestra he performed at the renowned Radio City Music Hall in New York. The repertoire that was performed at the time
… can be heard on the studio album New York Memories. In addition to some European highlights, Rieu and associates mainly played the most beautiful melodies from American films and musicals, for example selections from the musicals The Phantom Of The Opera, Evita, Sister Act and The Music Man. But My Way and patriotic songs like The Washington Post, America The Beautiful and The Stars And Strips Forever were also featured. The arrangement of A Whiter Shade Of Pale was surprising. The bonus CD features live tracks from the Harlem Gospel Choir's guest appearance. (SvdP)more
