Kati Krisch Sees Wonderful Marvelous Andre Rieu & his JSO
LET ME START AT THE BEGINNING.
ANDRE RIEU AND HIS FAMOUS JOHANN STRAUSS ORCHESTRA CAME TO TOWN ON MAY 26TH 2009
WONDERFUL, MARVELOUS!
THIS IS HOW I CAN DESCRIBE IT IN SHORT.
AT A PBS PRE CONCERT RECEPTION, I MET 4 MEMBERS OF THE ORCHESTRA, JET, HER HUSBAND, TON MAESSEN, AND A NEW TROMBONE PLAYER, DOMINIQUE, NATURALLY WITH RUUD MERX WITH HIS NEVER ENDING SMILE, AND LATER HIS HUMOR ON STAGE.
ALL HAVE BEEN VERY NICE, DID NOT MIND US TAKING PICTURES WITH THEM.
I WAS HOPING, MAYBE GET LUCKY AND BELA WOULD SHOW UP, I COULD CONVERSE HUNGARIAN WITH HIM. I AM SURE, HE GETS HOMESICK SOMETIMES TOO.
I HAVE TO SAY TO ALL, ACTUALLY THE WHOLE WORLD, THIS WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY PRESENT, I COULD HAVE EVER GOTTEN. THE PROGRAM WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD.!
THERE IS SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL WAITING FOR ALL OF YOU, WHO ARE WAITING FOR YOUR CONCERTS. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
I GOT MY BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT FROM CARLA. THE THREE TENORS, JUST CANNOT HIT A BAD NOTE. FROM THE VERY SERIOUS PIECE FROM TOSCA, TO THE MOST ENJOYABLE OPERETTA PIECES, THEY WERE A DELIGHT. NOT TO FORGET THE THREE LADIES, CARLA, MIRUSIA, AND KALKI, THEIR VOICES STILL RING IN MY EAR!
THE LADIES CLOG DANCED, WHILE THE GUYS HELPED THEMSELVES TO SOME DRINKS SOME BEER, SOME VODKA, AND MAYBE JUST WATER. THIS WAS VERY PLAYFUL. I FELT SORRY FOR BELA, WHEN ANDRE DRANK HIS CHAMPAGNE, POOR THING HAD NOTHING LEFT. I AM SURE, HE HAD A CHANCE TO ENJOY HIMSELF LATER, AFTER THE CONCERT, BEFORE TAKING OFF FOR EUROPE.
NOT TOO MANY WORDS CAN DESCRIBE MIRUSIA WITH HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE, SAYING GOODBYE. HOW CAN YOU SAY GOODBYE, WHEN YOU SEE THE AUDIENCE, ON THEIR FEET, YOUNG AND OLD, DANCING, LAUGHING, JUST ENJOYING THEMSELVES.?
HOW ANYONE COULD FORGET ANDRE AND HIS JOHANN STRAUSS ORCHESTRA, WHEN HE NEVER FORGETS ABOUT AMERICA, AND THE AMERICAN HEROES?
ALL OF US SINGING AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL.
I JUST WANT TO THANK ANDRE AND THE WHOLE ORCHESTRA, FOR BRINGING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TO DENVER COLORADO, IT WAS UNFORGETTABLE.

Kati, I loved your report. I want so much to have the same opportunity, to enjoy a concert of André. I know he'll maybe come to Brazil, but I'll only believe when I see in his website. Until there, congratulations.

HELLO ADRIANA, HE DID MENTION ONE CONTINENT, THAT HE HAVE NOT BEEN YET, I AM 100% POSITIVE, YOUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WILL BE ON HIS LIST FOR NEXT YEAR!
NOBODY CAN HAVE ENOUGH OF THE TWO BRASILIAN SINGER, CARLA AND CARMEN.
HE REALLY KNOWS, HOW TO GET TO MUSIC LOVER'S HEART.
HE SING WITH YOU, HE DANCES WITH YOU.

Hi Kati, We all heard abgout his plans to come to Brazil, but there is a lot of logistic and money involved, so I'll just believe when I see it in his website. Your report was so beautiful, sounds like you were in another world, where everything was magic. I believe thats touched me most.
Again, thanks for share this memories.
