André Rieu - Emperor Waltz (Kaiser-Walzer)

[kevinwilliam]

This work of art is so cultured, the milk I'm drinking is starting to become cheese...

[jduff]

I get what Andre is doing - bringing the old world/empire culture to the masses. A blue-collar Johan can attend a concert at a regal palace - where he wouldn't dare go 200 years ago. It's all a fantasy now, and there's no harm in that.

I wish we could live in these times again. So beautiful to dance to these waltzes.Your music is so magical and romantic Andre.

This is so beautiful beyond my imagination. The performance represents the true spirit of old and refined Austrian-Hungarian Empire

I believe music is Universal language no matter age, nationality, culture if you feel it, just feel it with your heart

[janikb]

I feel like we as a society need to appreciate European culture more. This is so nice

For a moment I believed I was seeing a scene from 200 years in the past, but then I saw the emergency exit sign

Makes me proud to be European! I never thought I'd be watching ballroom dancing as a man and enjoy it, so beautiful.

[milamiller]

I am American but my Austrian heritage is coming out for the love of your music!

[evcazel]

Old beautiful Europe. When Austria-Hungary was a strong state, headed by Francis Joseph I. and his beautiful Empress Sissi 😍❤️

[georgewashington]

there is actually something leftover of the old civilization - beautiful!

Andre Rieu's music brings such joy and happiness. The dancers are beautiful and the ladies in the orchestra so beautifully dressed. Thank you for giving such joy!

I have been in awe of André Rieu since my teenage years when we all sat and watched him conduct the Vienna Philharmonic on New Year’s Eve. I’m now 53 and still watch him in the same awe…and he’s still just as charming and sexy as he was 40 years ago.

[genekunkel]

it is always a pleasure to watch professionals who love their work both the dancers and musicians.

[adiromeova]

This is such a lovely interpretation: almost like a Cinderella story as the emperor chooses his bride--dance partner.

[jannybloemers]

[rainerschiele]

Höchste Zeit, daß wir uns wieder auf unsere Kultur

[giadaisabella]

Even if it's just a Youtube video I felt the need to clap when the performance ended

I first heard this beautiful waltz while watching (oddly enough) an episode of The Big Valley back in the late 1960s. Seems as though every time the Barkley family had a big party, this waltz was played as I recall hearing it several times after that.
