PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
On his new CD, Andre Rieu leaves the world of the waltz and takes listeners on a romantic musical journey - just in time for Valentine's Day! Recording some of the most beautiful love music ever written, Andre has arranged an array of romantic classics with his one and only Johann Strauss Orchestra. Featured selections include Nino Rota's "A Time for Us" (from the movie Romeo & Juliet), "Danny Boy," "O Mio Babbino Caro" and the Largo from Dvorak's "New World Symphony."

Set the table, open the wine, light some candles. Slip on this disc. Let the gentle sounds of André Rieu's slippery fiddle and fur-tipped orchestra lull you with classical music's most memorable soothers, from "O Mio Babbino Caro" and "Plasir D'Amour" to the largo from Dvorák's New World Symphony and Nino Rota's "A Time for Us," which opens and closes the collection. Lightweight stuff, yes, but ingenuously arranged and performed, and the ribbon of reverb that surrounds the orchestra will please erstwhile Mantovani fans. --Jed Distler
