Music recommended for your Christmas music party


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, 
completely free of fear

and Amira Willighagen the unbelievable opera singer from Netherlands aged 7

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
