Andre Rieu is akin to Lawrence Welk--his concerts are real shows, his musicians are encouraged to show personality and great attention is given to costuming and to staging. As with Welk, he has legions of fans who will be loyal forever. This concert should also meet most of their expectations.What has often gone unsaid is that Rieu's commentary here is in German. There are English subtitles but they take something away from the visual experience. The 'Little Angels of Nagasaki' children's choir, of course, sings in Japanese. Historically, Nagasaki was an early stronghold of Christian faith and conversion in Japan so having them as guests on this concert bill is significant. Also, Rieu is reminding us, in the early part of the show, that a good deal of the 'magic' of Christmas is for children and that the Christmas story is family-based. Thus, we include 'Ave Maria', which is not traditional Christmas music.I agree with leading reviewer, 'Gorki', that not everybody will find the children's chorus offerings to be strong musically, even though the children are sweet and sincere (except for the ones who are so young as to sometime appear to be a bit confused by everything.) This part of the production has especially 'stagey' tones, where the children have to make room for a beautiful blonde soloist with a warm voice, so that she can sing 'tenderly' to them a lullaby ('Slumber My Darling') they clearly do not understand. Andre adds to this with his own brand of ham-fisted cuteness in a later number, which nonetheless features some very fine-toned violin work.Keeping in mind that this is a holiday concert, the music selection is more pops-oriented than usual, with 'White Christmas,' 'Jingle Bells', 'Sleigh Ride' and a Dixieland oriented 'Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer' among the non-liturgical, non-symphonic orchestral compositions/arrangements. In short, the program has been constructed to be balanced and to please the audience in different visual and musical ways. One hilarious (unintended) visual is when a 'snow machine' starts dumping 'flakes too heavily over the front rows of the audience.I like Andre Rieu's pops approach to traditionally symphonic numbers, so this less-classical selection had less appeal for me. It did make for reasonable Christmas Eve viewing. Certainly the concert hall audience loved it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful! *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012* Just got done watching this DVD again and I'm still kind of numb from the beautiful music and voices of this Christmas show. I bought the DVD last year on Amazon but neglected to leave a review. Yet this time I'm getting right to it. Such beauty and harmony of presenting the Christmas spirit should be on every music lovers list. I guess that every Andre Rieu fan already knows that he is a fabulous showman and knows how to keep his audience entertained. But just hearing him play his strad always blows me away! He is a very gifted violinist but never takes the center stage for himself. Watching his shows (and I own most of them) always gives the impression that he is just "One of the Crowd". It's no different with "Christmas Around the World". He gives a bow to all the beautiful sopranos and his orchestra after every number. This DVD presents a lot of the classic Christmas songs plus some more upbeat ones like "Rudolph" with a great sense of humor.Just want to add that the "Nakasagi Angels" were a delight to watch and listen to. I enjoy the Christmas Spirit of all nations and this DVD is certainly a tribute to it. Buy it this season, you won't be sorry! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars On time delivery. *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2021* On time delivery and the program ok.
