Movie Reviews of Andre Rieu in Wonderland (+ Bonus CD)
Movie Review: Fairy-Tale Music by Andre Rieu!
Summary: 5 Stars
This concert took place in front of Efteling Theme-Park's Fairy-Tale Castle, in The Netherlands. Original idea with this concert was to go into magical world of fairy-tales (such as Swan Lake, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, the Magic Flute, and many others) with music in a fairy-tale atmosphere with fairy-tale characters. So, if you get used to waltzing-themes of Andre Rieu, this one is not like those ones, but of course, very enjoyable one in its special context.
Concert on DVD has audio options with Dolby 5.1 & 2.0. Andre Rieu speaks in Dutch and subtitles are provided. Video is 16:9 Widescreen. Concert runs about 120mins in 2 parts; and as an extra there is a 25mins 'Behind The Scenes' documentary.
Along with Andre Rieu's original soloists (Suzan Erens, Carmen Monarcha, Carla Maffioletti), there are guest stars namely Mirusia Louwerse, Brian Dickerson, the Platinum Tenors. Some tracks are accompanied by dances, ballets and soloists from the Ballet of the Vienna State Opera, the International Dance Theater, and the Berlin Folk-Music Sparrows.
All of the tracks are wonderful and joyful, but according to me (apart from all solos) highlights of the concert were 'Salome'; 'Sabre Dance'; ballet with 'Swan Lake'; aria from "The Magic Flute (Mozart)" (best aria ever written for bass voice) 'O Isis und Osiris' -soloist:Brian Dickerson; 'Solveig's Song' from "Peter Gynt Suite (Grieg)" -soloist:Mirusia Louwerse; 'Some Day My Prince will Come' sung by 4 beautiful princesses, Ki-Mo-No Trio :) and The Platin Tenors.
