Summary: Take a Waltz in your Living Room
Comment: I loved this DVD. The showmanship of the orchestra and vitality of Andre Rieu, make it a real joy to watch over and over again. It's awe inspiring to see the debutante couples glide around the stage in the slendor of gowns and uniforms of days gone by. If you want a true experience without the big ticket price, you want this DVD.
I was disappointed with the CD of Live in Vienna. It did not have "Blue Danube", and a number of the songs set a mood outside my comfort zone.

Summary: A Pure Delight
Comment: I bought the two Andre Rieu DVD's (Vienna/New York) for my wife, not expecting to enjoy them myself. Turns out they're great light-hearted fun. Rieu is a master showman - not everyone's cup of tea, but good at what he does. The productions are beautifully filmed and the music selections are somewhat varied - it's not all Strauss waltzes (although there are plenty of those!).

Summary: Live in Vienna
Comment: In my opinion this video rates in the same class as The Homecoming, that is to say one of his best efforts.
The setting, in front of the Imperial Palace is splendid. The sound and video work is superlative, as always.
In this video one can see a more mature set of singers, their voices and manners even more accomplished. The two ladies from Brazil have always been wonderful performers, but here they display a more refined and effusive delivery. Besides those two there are other singers, including some from Austria, who add color and luster to an already outstanding effort.
One is treated to dancers as well, in period costume and dancing in the imperial palace! A visual treat to say the least; radiant Austrian girls, stunning in their lovely ball gowns and accompanied by gallant gentlemen. Breathtaking!
At the beginning one can note a hint of tension in Andre as he comes on stage and addresses the musicians. Clearly he is playing the worldwide capital of music, and the very soul of Austria is going to judge his efforts. The mayor of the city is in attendance and the audience is critical to say the least.
In addition, he alludes briefly during his comments to having had to block traffic in one of the most crowded areas of the city, and the problems that caused him and his people. So certainly there is good reason for his tension.
The listeners are more jaded here, the music of Strauss runs in their veins. It would take a superlative performance just to satisfy them, let alone genuinely impress. So ones sees a more reserved audience than is normal in his other videos. However, by the end of the tape he has even those people standing, a real tribute to a master showman!
I cannot recommend this video more highly, it is not a simple duplicate of previous music in a different setting, it is a totally new effort,with new songs, different singers and dancers who sincerely delight in the waltz.
In the end he carries it off flawlessly, a magnificent performance in every sense.
