Movie Reviews of Andre Rieu - The Flying Dutchman
Movie Review: The most fun I ever had in a soccer stadium!
Summary: 5 Stars
Mind you, I don't do sports, no matter what ball or national passion is being pitched or kicked about. But boy, did I get a kick out of joining 18,000 fans at Kerkrade stadium in Holland, and did I have a ball watching the globetrotting Andre Rieu perform for his fellow countrymen! Their rapt smiles triggered memories of my first exposure to him on PBS and subsequent purchase of a DVD. While watching it, a curious sensation took hold of me. Eventually I pressed PAUSE and hotfooted over to the nearest mirror. Sure enough, I had this huge, improbable smile pasted on my face and simply couldn't wipe it off. Watch his Kerkrade concert and see this unabashed joy mirrored on 18,000 faces. The Flying Dutchman has the crowd in the palm of his hand as he wows them with a dazzling mix of musical numbers and rollicking fun. Share his obvious delight as 3-year-old Akim performs his own bottled-water antics before earnestly playing a lovely Concertino on his child-prodigy-size violin. Toward the end a lovable maniac named Otto - the world's fastest sketch artist - has the audience in stitches to the tune of "Old MacDonald." They sing "The Limburg Anthem" with obvious pride, root for Irish and Japanese numbers, roar over the signature waltzes, and beam with pleasure when prancing horses dramatize the Triumphal March from Aida. The soloists delight, the orchestra is gorgeous, and "The Making of The Flying Dutchman" makes for a fine dessert after a lavish entertainment meal. Take it from this old Swiss: there is nothing cheesy about the Dutch violinist and entertainer. He's a consummate professional who delivers a classy show. Would I keep giving this DVD as a gift if I didn't envision more surprise smiles showing up in bathroom mirrors?
