"... This concert, which was filmed at the Royal Albert Hall in London, is incredible; but of course we've come to expect nothing less from Andre Rieu. As usual his interaction with the audience and comical antics are what "make" his concerts so special. This DVD has something for everyone and the excitement generated by the audience is contagious. Although the sound quality did not appear to be the best, (compared with others that I have), the DVD is well worth the purchase and will reward viewers with many repeated hours of sheer listening and viewing enjoyment."

"I had previously seen and purchased the Live in Dublin DVD, and was looking to expand my "collection". Some of the comments posted here made me think twice about this selection, especially regarding the video quality.
Eventhough the video is not the best, I found the program to be excellent, and in fact watched it 3 times when I first got it! The poor video quality and constant angle changes mentioned by other reviewers was not really a detriment in my opinion, because the program is otherwise very enjoyable. The extended encores are especially enjoyable, where the orchestra diverts from classical music to popular songs from around the globe, and has the crowd literally dancing in the aisles.
The track listing on the Amazon.com website is definitely incorrect, so look elsewhere to find out the contents. However, my bottom line is DON'T pass up this DVD because of the minor negative comments, because they're not that big of a deal, and the program is so fun and rewarding to watch, over and over."
Unlike the nay-sayers...

"I thought this DVD was terrific and exciting! It was "Live at the Royal Alber Hall" DVD that first introduced me to Rieu, and from there I bought several more of his DVDs. It would be a dream come true to physically attend a live concert, and someday I hope to do that.
If you are one who thinks classical is boring, think again! This DVD will put a step in your toes, and when it's all over, you'll feel like you've really partied! (Without the effects of a hangover..)

Classical Music at it's finest!

"My parents made me buy this. They had watched it in Australia at a friends house.
The concert starts off very traditionally, with popular classical pieces - nothing too unusual.
Then it starts to build on the emotion and fun that only Andre Rieu can put into clasical music.
From there, it just keeps building. This is a "must have". You don't need to be big on classical music to enjoy this DVD and if you are big on classical music I doubt you've experienced the amount of joy Andre Rieu can put in a piece of music."
