00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,440
Welcome to a very special event,
5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,960
Andre Rieu's 70th birthday party.
6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,600
And as you can see,
the stage is set
7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,800
for a wonderful celebration.
8
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:45,280
Hello, everyone.
So pleased you got the invite.
9
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,480
I'm Charlotte Hawkins
and welcome to Maastricht.
10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,800
We are, of course,
at Andre's beautiful
11
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,400
15th century castle.
12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,080
And as you can see,
the Johann Strauss Orchestra
13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,680
are arriving,
ready to start the party,
14
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,720
looking absolutely gorgeous,
I may add,
15
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,600
They are all waiting
for the birthday boy to arrive.
16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,280
And here he is.
(APPLAUSE)
17
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:13,840
Maestro Andre Rieu,
looking as happy as can be.
18
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:18,240
As he arrives, he's greeted by
a big cheer from his orchestra.
19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,720
So lovely.
20
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,360
(ALL SING 'LONG MAY HE LIVE')
21
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,000
ALL: Hip Hip Hooray!
What a wonderful moment.
22
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,200
The Johann Strauss Orchestra
singing Long May He Live to Andre.
23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,600
It's a tradition they continue
throughout the year
24
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,320
whenever it's somebody's
birthday in the orchestra.
25
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,800
And it is so nice to hear it
for the maestro today.
26
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,000
While Andre enjoys this moment
with his orchestra,
27
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,920
let's take a look at why we're here
28
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,600
to celebrate the musical life
of Andre,
29
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,760
who is only 70 years young.
30
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,400
Andre Leon Marie Nicolas Rieu
was born on October the first, 1949.
31
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,160
The third of six children, they
were encouraged by their father,
32
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,400
a conductor with the
Limburg Symphony Orchestra,
33
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,440
to embrace music
and play an instrument.
34
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,200
They were the classical von Trapps.
35
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,640
Andre fell in love with the violin.
36
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,760
He would later graduate from
the Royal Conservatory in Brussels
37
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,240
with distinction.
38
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,600
And while still a student,
he fell in love again with Margery.
39
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:36,120
They married in 1975,
40
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,000
a union of love and music,
which is still going strong today.
41
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,600
With encouragement
from Margery in 1978,
42
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:47,560
Andre formed the
Maastricht Salon Orchestra,
43
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,920
a quintet performing popular
classics with a difference.
44
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,080
They didn't just
entertain the audience
45
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,680
with their beautiful melodies,
but with their antics.
46
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,800
This music and charisma
would eventually take Andre
47
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,880
from playing to a handful of people
in retirement homes
48
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:07,080
to sell-out
worldwide stadium tours,
49
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,680
entertaining millions of people
all over the globe.
50
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,400
And this is the Andre
we all know and love today.
51
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,160
(CHEERING)
52
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,200
And here he is!
Andre, many happy returns.
53
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,000
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
54
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,920
It's so lovely to see you.
55
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,760
It's fantastic to see you.
56
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Seventy!
Mwah!
57
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,280
I have to make the most of it.
(LAUGHS)
58
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,560
Oh, thank you so much for
inviting us to your fabulous party.
59
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,160
It is such a privilege.
I cannot believe that you are 70.
60
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,240
It's incredible.
And what a journey you've had.
61
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,960
Yes, I saw all these pictures.
62
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,760
Where did you get
all these pictures?
63
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,280
I never saw them.
I'm really excited to see them.
64
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,920
Oh, well, it's such
a special look at it.
65
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,480
And I know music has been a part
of your life forever, hasn't it?
66
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,640
Part of my life?
It was my life.
67
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,400
Your father was a conductor
at the Limburg Symphony Orchestra,
68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,720
so you're exposed to it
from a young age.
69
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,680
How much of an influence was that?
70
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Oh, that was an enormous influence.
71
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,080
I remember I was,
I think three years old,
72
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,240
and that was my first concert.
73
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,680
And I saw all of these bows going
up and down all at the same time,
74
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,120
and I was, ah, that struck my heart.
75
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,960
That was the moment I knew
I want to be a musician.
76
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,640
And I know your family were musical,
77
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,720
many of your brothers and sisters,
they all played instruments as well,
78
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,480
so you were surrounded by it
at a young age, weren't you?
79
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,280
What first drew you to the violin?
80
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,800
So, my parents made me try
all the instruments,
81
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:45,560
the flute and piano and oboe.
82
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,240
But my violin teacher,
83
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:52,200
she was an 18 year old blonde girl,
84
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,440
so it became the violin.
Ooh! And there we go.
85
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,200
Your parents also enrolled you
in the church choir.
86
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,480
How influential was that?
87
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,120
Oh, that was that was
enormously influential, because
88
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,720
I remember the sun was shining
through the beautiful windows.
89
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,440
Ten priests here,
ten priests there
90
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,160
swinging the censer,
the smell, the beautiful music.
91
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,880
So I learnt all that theatre
that I do now,
92
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,880
I learnt it in the church and...
93
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,200
there was so many
beautiful girls in the choir.
94
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,720
This is becoming quite a theme,
you know.
95
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,400
It's a theme in my life.
And talking of beautiful girls,
96
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,760
someone else we must mention
is your lovely wife.
97
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,560
I know she's been a huge
influence on you as well.Yeah.
98
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,160
You met Marjorie
at a very young age.
99
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,280
You got married
when you were students.
100
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,400
How did you first propose?
Tell us the story.
101
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,800
I was 11 and she was 13.
102
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,200
She was in the class with my sister.
103
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,200
So, that was the beginning.
104
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,960
And years later, we start dating.
105
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,840
And so she said,
I want you to know my parents,
106
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,360
and the father,
he was very old fashioned, said,
107
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,040
"Please sit down,
young man, on the couch.
108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,280
Can you financially
support my daughter?"
109
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,000
And I said, "No, she is
financially supporting me."
110
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,200
And then he said,
"OK, now you can marry my daughter."
111
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,160
Ohh! So it was a happy ending,
which is great news.
112
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,840
And listen, I know you...
113
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,640
musically, you've finished
your training at the Conservatoire
114
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,560
in Brussels with a distinction.
115
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,080
And then a year later, in 1978,
with Marjorie's encouragement,
116
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,920
you set up the Quintet,
the Maastricht Salon Orchestra.
117
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,800
As you were playing at weddings,
you were playing at nursing homes,
118
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,440
you were really learning your craft,
weren't you?
119
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,640
But you did have fun
at the same time.
120
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680
And I think that's interesting.
We can see these pictures here
121
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,880
where you're dressing up in 1920s
swimwear with the orchestra.
122
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,160
What was happening here?
123
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,520
Fun for me was always
from the first rehearsal.
124
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,440
We had fun, but at the same time
we were professionals.
125
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,000
So that's the combination.
126
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,040
I think that's what attracts
the audience so much.
127
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,040
So, how did you end up
wearing swimwear then?
128
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,320
Oh, the swimwear.
You come back to swimwear.
129
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,040
I was intrigued!
(BOTH LAUGH)
130
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,120
I think the piece was called...
131
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,680
Fraulein Helene (INDISTINCT)
132
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,480
So I saw the girl, Helen,
133
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,080
in her... in her bikini,
something like that.
134
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,320
It was another story
connected to a beautiful girl.
135
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,200
Yes, of course!
136
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,400
In fact, everything comes back
to beautiful girls.
137
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,800
Well, listen, I love the fact
that you have this magical
138
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,640
connection with your audience.
139
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,480
These pictures are brilliant
because we can see you here,
140
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,400
you are telling the audience
to pick up their table and chairs
141
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,920
and to literally
move them closer to you.
142
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,000
Was this something
that you had to learn,
143
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,680
or did you always have
this charisma on stage?
144
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,040
No, in fact I'm very shy.
145
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,080
But I remember that evening,
146
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,280
the organisation put
the first row there,
147
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,160
ten, fifteen metres there.
And I thought,
148
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,640
"My God, what is this?"
So, we started to play
149
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,960
and I said to myself,
"That's not going to work."
150
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,720
So I said, "Ladies and gentlemen,
please could you all take your table
151
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,800
and your chair and come
ten metres forward," and they did.
152
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,240
And then, the evening was a success.
153
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,920
So that was, for me, always and is
still for me very, very important
154
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,400
that the evening,
the concert, whatever we do,
155
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,920
it must be a success because
I want to go to people
156
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,360
happy home, with a smile
on their face, which.
157
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,880
Which they always do.
158
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,160
And of course, it was in 1987
159
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,360
that you realised your dream
of forming your very own orchestra,
160
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,600
named after your hero,
Johann Strauss.
161
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,240
And you've been together now
for over 30 years, haven't you?
162
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,200
Which is incredible achievement.
163
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,560
We will be talking
more about that later.
164
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,680
But first, Andre, every party,
as we all know, needs music.
165
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,560
So let's indulge ourselves.
166
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,960
You've handpicked some of
your favourite performances
167
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,720
from your world tour.
168
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,240
I'm sure this is going to be
a great trip down memory lane,
169
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,440
so why don't you sit back and enjoy

he hasn't stuck to the stiff rules
172
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,800
of classical music concerts.
173
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,880

206
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,600

208
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,680

the castle where Sissi lived.
211
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,200
And it was such a romantic night,
ladies and gentlemen.

214
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,120
the ice skaters were there,
the fountains were there.
215
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,480
The golden carriage with Sissi
and the Emperor Franz Josef,
216
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,200
six white horses,
It was incredible.
217
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,640
I will never forget it.
And I said to myself,
218
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,200
in fact, I want only...
219
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,920

220
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,680

there was a young girl
entering my studio,

00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,520
and not only that she looked like
a fairy-tale princess,
337
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,920
but the moment she started to sing,
338
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,720

What a great romp
around the world that was.
498
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,880
Andre, did that bring back
lots of memories for you?
499
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,280
Oh, it was fantastic. All these
memories, fantastic to see it.
500
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,360
And enjoying the party behind us
501
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,720
are, of course,
the Johann Strauss Orchestra.

00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,480
There's Manu topping up
her champagne glass,
503
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:52,000
ready for the second part
of Andre's ultimate concert.
504
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,040
She does that so well, doesn't she?
505
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,240
Andre, how is it for you touring
the world with your orchestra?
506
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,520
I know you're together
much of the year,
507
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,760
there's a real family atmosphere,
and being here at the party,
508
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,360
this is definitely
a family-like occasion.
509
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,560
What's it like being
on the road with them?
510
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:14,880
It's fantastic.
I have in fact two families.
511
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,520
It's my family, my wife,
my children, my grandchildren,
512
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,200
and this is my big family.
513
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,200
So, and this is the family
I've travelled the world with.
514
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,160
Well, it is such
a special thing to see.
515
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,640
Let's take a look back now
at the Johann Strauss years so far.
516
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,440
The year is 1987.
517
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,640
That was the year Andre,
at the age of 38,
518
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:40,720
realised his dream and formed
the Johann Strauss Orchestra.
519
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:45,000
They performed their first ever
concert on New Year's Day, 1988,
520
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,640
and back then
there were just 12 musicians.
521
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,760
The big breakthrough came in 1994.
522
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,280
With the album
"from Holland With Love,"
523
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,000
Andre created a waltz craze.
524
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,920
The breakaway hit on the album
was the Second Waltz
525
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:01,800
by Dmitri Shostakovich.
526
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,080
Andre hit number one in the charts
527
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,480
and became a household name
in the Netherlands.
528
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,840
The media dubbed him
the modern day King of the Waltz,
529
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,240
and this king went on
to conquer the world.
530
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:18,280
Tours in Japan, the USA,
Canada and Europe were to follow,
531
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,240
and the accolades
for his music rolled in.
532
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:25,040
In 2006, Andre performed
his first open air concert
533
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,560
in the home of the Waltz, Vienna.
534
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,320
The special from Schonbrunn Palace
was a magical affair.
535
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:35,120
As soon as Andre came offstage,
he made the momentous decision
536
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:39,400
to recreate this Viennese night
around the world.
537
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:43,320
With this, the most ambitious
touring stage in history was built,
538
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,760
a life-size replica
of Schonbrunn Palace.
539
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:50,120
A worldwide tour ensued,
wowing audiences
540
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,520
with the music and pure scale
of the spectacle.
541
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,240
And to this day,
he continues to entertain
542
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,320
with mesmerising concerts
around the world,
543
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,520
touching the hearts of millions
of people with his humour,
544
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:06,040
his compassion,
and his wonderful music.
545
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,120
The King of the Waltz
is on the top of his game
546
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,160
and long may he reign.
547
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:15,840
(CHEERING)
548
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:20,040
Wow! Over 30 years condensed
into two minutes.
549
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,280
Well, let's start
right back at the beginning,
550
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:26,040
because in 1987 you formed
the Johann Strauss Orchestra
from scratch.
551
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,880
You had to audition the members,
you had to beg, borrow and steal
552
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,440
dresses and even chairs.
553
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,600
And believe it or not,
the orchestra was dressed in black.
554
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,800
Yes. It dresses.
555
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:42,040
I told them, please bring your dress
and bring your music stand
556
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,240
because I didn't have money,
so everything was black.
557
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:49,200
And I remember there was
a critic at the first concert.
558
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,120
They said, "Oh, my God,
the music was perfect.
559
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,440
Andre, I loved it. T
he audience was very cheered up.
560
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:58,280
BUT... didn't you open
a tin of (INDISTINCT).
561
01:02:59,920 --> 01:03:02,240
Because everything was black.
562
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,520
But they look
very different these days.
563
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:08,200
Your big breakthrough
came in 1995 with the Second Waltz.
564
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:10,760
Did you expect that? How did you
choose that piece of music?
565
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,880
Of course, with my heart,
like with all music. But...
566
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:18,880
I could never know that this
would be such a success.
567
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:23,440
I remember the record company said,
"I think we will sell at Christmas,
568
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,320
perhaps 25,000 records."
569
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,040
And then we sold that year
one million CDs.
570
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:29,800
So, it was really amazing.
571
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:33,040
Then after an incredible concert
at the Schonbrunn Palace,
572
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,480
you embarked on
your biggest project ever,
573
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,680
recreating a life-size version
of that very palace.
574
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:42,560
It was a huge undertaking,
wasn't it?
575
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,280
Do we have to talk about that?
(LAUGHS)
576
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,280
Because, of course
I will talk about it.
577
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,400
But, you know, we were standing
in front of Schonbrunn
578
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:54,680
with the dancers, with the ballet,
with the horses,
579
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,480
with Sissi and Franz Josef
and the fountains
580
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,080
and this beautiful castle.
581
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:05,640
And then I said to Pierre, my son,
he was at that time 23,
582
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,520
"Pierre, you know,
this is so beautiful.
583
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,200
Everything comes together here.
584
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,480
You make a copy of that castle, and
we are going to travel the world."
585
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,080
And you know what? He did!
586
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,400
Well, on that note,
let's bring in Pierre now, your son.
587
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,920
Oh, there he is.
Hello, Pierre. How are you?
588
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,680
Hi, Charlotte.
Hello. Nice to see you.
589
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,760
I'm not like my dad.
I know. Just the three.
590
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,080
There we are.
591
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,080
Well, listen, it was on your
young shoulders at the time
592
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,480
that that huge
responsibility rested.
593
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,240
How was that time for you?
594
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,600
Ys, it's quite something
for a young man,
595
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:42,720
but in the end, it was all very
put together, and I think...
596
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,680
Yes, but now
when I think still of it,
597
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,360
as too much. It was too much.
598
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:49,960
Was it stressful for you?
Did you feel-
599
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,120
Oh, yes! It was stressful.
Yeah, yeah.
600
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,680
I-I well, you know,
Peter, our doctor,
601
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,760
he was circling like a madman
around me, and it was...
602
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:01,400
"What's he doing?" I think he must
have been waiting for the moment
603
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,600
that I would collapse or something,
but that didn't happen.
604
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,760
I think we all felt
that we were on the edge
605
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:09,640
of all of our capacities.
606
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:15,000
And after that show, it was just
a huge relief for everybody.
607
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,120
And on the edge financially as well,
608
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,840
because it paid a heavy toll
on your bank balance, didn't it?
609
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,400
Yes, the money was gone.
610
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,720
We were minus I don't know how much.
611
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:27,120
And then the bank came here in
the castle for the whole Saturday,
612
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,880
you remember?
We was sitting around the table.
613
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,720
"Oh, yes. That chandelier
we can't have,
614
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:37,080
and that we can't have..."
So, they were scrapping everything.
615
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,880
But there was one guy,
a young guy who sat opposite to me,
616
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,200
he said,
"No, no, no, we don't do that.
617
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,520
Andre has come to play
because that's the only way
618
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,160
we get our money back."
619
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,000
Well after that,
you had to work incredibly hard
620
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:54,520
to pay off those debts
to get yourself back on top.
621
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:56,640
But after that, in 2010,
622
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,240
you had to disappear.
You took some time out.
623
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,600
You cancelled concerts, I know.
How was that time for you?
624
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,800
That was a difficult time.
And again, that was because
625
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,320
I had to work so hard
to get everything back,
626
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,040
then it was too much.
627
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,720
Well, normally when you
when you're overworked
628
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,360
and you have to step down,
629
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,560
you have the time to relax.
630
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:22,400
But in his case it was different
because the pressure just raised
631
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,040
once he stepped down
and he was at home.
632
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,600
So, no concerts, all the salaries,
the venues that were booked,
633
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,400
the flights that were booked, all
the containers that were shipped.
634
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,600
The only thing I could do
was tell him,
635
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,400
and I think the same
with my brother and my mother,
636
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:42,960
said, "OK, we love you anyhow,
whatever happens, and we'll see."
637
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,720
I remember that.
From the first moment
638
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,320
they said "we love you" and...
639
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,200
"Whatever happens, we love you."
640
01:06:55,600 --> 01:07:00,520
It's everything that counts, right?
Of course. Absolutely.
641
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,240
At the end of the day,
it's family that's going to get you
642
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,720
through these things, isn't it?
Yeah.
643
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,440
I know...
And they did.
644
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,240
Sorry.
645
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:17,160
Well, I know how much of
a difficult time it was for you.
646
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,680
It was a huge thing to have
happened, isn't it?
647
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,640
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
648
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,440
And because they said that...
649
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,840
I was easy, so.
650
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,600
because it's OK, even when it
stops,
651
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,800
they love me and we do another live.
652
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:36,440
But that gave me
the strength to go on.
653
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,200
Well, listen, I know how devastating
it was for you all at the time,
654
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,760
but the return of you,
you rejuvenated,
655
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,360
you felt so much better,
656
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,640
it was a joyous occasion
for everybody, wasn't it?
657
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,880
And now I know that you balanced
your work and your life situation,
658
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:53,600
so it's in a much better place
659
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,400
and you continue to make
classical music concerts
660
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,120
fun and accessible for everybody.
661
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:00,880
And of course,
you recently celebrated
662
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:05,000
your 100th concerts on Reiterhof.
What a special occasion that was.
663
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,320
Another emotional thing.
I was crying.
664
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,800
And the Mayor surprised you
on stage with a plaque
665
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,160
that's going to be up there.
How special was that?
666
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:15,480
That was very special. Very special.
I didn't know nothing.
667
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,880
I think that was actually
the first time ever
668
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:21,040
that he was 100% unaware
669
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:24,920
of a present that was going to come.
Yeah, I don't like surprises.
670
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:29,000
He doesn't like surprises at all!
It was very emotional.
671
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:30,920
Well, that is where
we begin part two
672
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:34,040
of Andre's worldwide concert
right here in Maastricht.
673
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,920
So, please enjoy
Andre's handpicked performances,
674
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,600
and the second part
of 70 Years Young.

01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:51,160
(APPLAUSE FADES)
884
01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:57,160
(APPLAUSE)
885
01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:04,920
My father was a conductor
886
01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:07,800
and he always took all his children
887
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:10,880
into his concerts.
We were six at home,
888
01:45:10,920 --> 01:45:14,080
and always when he played
a certain piece,
889
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:16,960
I had this piece
the whole night in my head,
890
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:19,360
and in fact,
that's very strange because
891
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:23,240
this piece has only
one melody and one rhythm.
892
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:26,400
And the rhythm is played...
893
01:45:26,440 --> 01:45:28,520
by this little drum here.
894
01:45:29,440 --> 01:45:31,680
Of course, not by the drum...
895
01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,120
(LAUGHTER)
..by the musician.
896
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:37,480
Give him an enormous applause,
Marcel Falize.
897
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:39,600
(APPLAUSE)
898
01:45:47,440 --> 01:45:50,320
As you can see,
there are more drums.
899
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:56,080
Marcel has a son, Glenn,
900
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:59,880
and he is a fantastic
percussion player.
901
01:45:59,920 --> 01:46:02,960
He is already year's member
of my orchestra.
902
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:05,280
Give him an enormous applause,
Glenn Falize.
903
01:46:05,320 --> 01:46:07,320
(APPLAUSE)
904
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:19,760
As you can see,
there are two more drums.
905
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:24,040
Marcel... has two more sons...
906
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:25,520
(LAUGHTER)
907
01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:28,680
..and they also
are percussion players.
908
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:32,000
It doesn't occur
very often in the world
909
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:34,160
that one professional
percussion player
910
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,720
has three sons who are also
percussion players.
911
01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:39,440
Give them an enormous applause,
Dean and Colin.
912
01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:43,760
(APPLAUSE)
913
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:54,600

914
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:56,440
and the Johann Strauss Orchestra,
915
01:46:56,480 --> 01:46:59,200
We are going to play for you,
by Maurice Ravel...
916
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:01,480
(AUDIENCE GASPS)

here in Maastricht.
929
01:54:10,440 --> 01:54:12,640
We had a lot of fun
on stage tonight.
930
01:54:12,680 --> 01:54:14,520
And who knows...
931
01:54:14,560 --> 01:54:17,160
we are going to see
each other again in life.
932
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:19,080

Oh, it's so much memories.

You know, we are now
33 years on stage,

travelling the world together.
