Let me tell you my top recommendation for the Christmas
season would be to watch the wonderful
Dutch musical impresario André Rieu making joyous music on YouTube. Rieu is
such a great showman, such a great musician and so much fun! You can start with his Christmas concert in
London
Then go for some of his wonderful waltzes
Then explore some videos of his “musical discoveries” like the
three-year-old violist
Akim Camara (a Malian boy) who plays solo with an orchestra and with
delight,
and Amira
Willighagen the unbelievable opera singer from Netherlands aged 7

with orchestra

with pipes aged 12
Then finish off with André's Scottish suite in Australia playing
Amazing Grace
Can’t sleep? Listen to one of Rieu’s compilations of soft
music for relaxation.
Waltzes are relaxing: a perfect end to your Christmas music party.
Watch Rieu's selection of YouTube music videos, and make your
choice
