Taken from André Rieus breathtaking live spectacle on DVD and. He is indestructible, he is so fascinating and charismatic, he dances and you dance along. André Rieu & The Johann Strauss Orchestra performing 'Ballade pour Adeline' live in Vienna. André is the hub, the motor and the soul. It is unreal, and yet I feel intensely happy. Sometimes it is as if I float above myself, watching us on stage in a far away foreign land, and making thousands of people happy with our music. It does give you lots of satisfaction to have been able to have been a part of that. We opened something, a heart maybe, and mutually connected people with one another. Although we leave again and travel to other countries, we always leave something behind. I sincerely believe that we create value music is a universal language, it touches you and effects you. But the price I pay for that is relatively small. The different worlds in which I live, the touring and then transitioning back home again, can sometimes be difficult.
I have gained more life experiences, and you can undoubtedly hear that in my music. I always try to improve on my technical skills, and think that as a musician I will continue to evolve since we always grow as human beings. I know the entire score "Ballade for Adeline" by heart, but always have that in front of me, I need that security. By playing the piano, I am much more in the spotlight than by playing the violin. And because of the complexity of our logistics, I have three concert pianos which can often be found in several different places throughout the world. Paul de Senneville compôs a peça como um tributo à sua filha recém-nascida, Adeline. 'Ballade derramar Adeline' (Balada para Adeline) música instrumental composta por Paul de Senneville e Olivier Toussaint em 1976. All the traveling we do affects the instrument. Ballade pour Adeline - Andre Rieu - Stephanie Detry (solo) 2011. When we are on tour the instrument is tuned prior to every concert. The concert piano plays a specific role it is one of the pillars in the orchestra, and just like the percussion instruments, the brass instruments and the basses, an undeniable foundation. It was for me the means to be able to work with André and his phenomenal orchestra. Although I now seldom touch my violin, I am forever grateful to that instrument. But when our pianist left, and André asked me to take his place, it was as if I came home I am one with the piano, this is my true talent. For many years I have enjoyed playing the violin. Seldom is there place for one in an orchestra. "André is so fascinating and charismatic, he dances and you dance along" I was happy when after completing my studies at the conservatory I could start right away with André Rieu as a violinist.
