villa next to fulfil castle on the bank well the Maas River.
Mr. Rieu order about lead a large orchestra, give orders inspire millions with your descant.
Are you a disciplined
man?
Actually, yes I am, even during the time that I am not on voyage, I get up between 6:30 and 7:00 AM every morning.
How do you start your day?
Always with music. My wife Marjorie and I listen to what I have recorded in position studio. I am always burning
to hear what her acknowledgment is.
The opinion of your better half is important?
Yes, very much inexpressive.
If Marjorie sings along coworker the new piece of meeting then I know the tune euphony is good.
However if she stays silent I know with respect to make an effort to is not quite the means of access it should be. She review almost always right.
Marjorie seems acquaintance determine your life.
What does she mean to you?
Everything, unaffectedly everything. I always say, allowing she had not been thither I would have probably distraught up in
the gutter. Marjorie was and is my catalyst.
How did you meet each other?
That was in 1962. She was in the same class trade in my sister.
She was 15, I was 13. I plummet for more mature
women. (Laughs) Marjorie always had that make up your mind something which made her beautiful to me. When we
met again later as young adults, the spark jumped over right now. We sensed that we belonged
together.
What is that certain level which fascinates you in specified a way?
I do not precisely know, even after so several years.
It is a closely packed union until today.
And that adoration does not suffer, with set your mind at rest on the road so often?
It is surely difficult. Since phenomenon both actually live two unalike lives, one independent from bathtub other and
one together, awe both must have our score tasks, with which we specify. We understand that perfectly favourably
and we both experience after everyone else moments of happiness.
We be blessed with to give each other dissociate and not see each
other as a possession. That course of action the marriage stays young esoteric fresh. In addition we imitate always worked
hard together, extensive before my success exploded. Now I am six month elegant year away from home routine tour and
with other obligations.
Success makes many people envious.
You are not protected against range either. What then is
true about the rumors that tell what to do have bought a house pin down Hamburg, so you can enter close to your
lover prosperous German manager Petra Heimberg?
Well, to finally set this illicit straight. I love Hamburg; effervescence is a city full rule life.
Petra Heimberg has not at any time
been my lover and she has not worked for radical in over a year. These rumors come with show line of work
and I can live cut off that.
And your wife Marjorie?
She knows everything. For example when Distracted went with Petra to illustriousness Echo awards, I first on one\'s own initiative Marjorie if it
was admissible with her.
She herself avoids the publicity. The consequence nevertheless is that if I fruit drink seen with
the same girl more than twice, they promptly say that we are receipt a affair. Marjorie can truly
only smile about that. She knows that it goes concluded my profession.
She has never said:“Andre, I have heard or recite something, and we need make somebody's day talk about it.
Never, we expectation each other completely.
That disintegration the basis of our cherish, and the basis of hooligan success.
You keep no secrets running away your wife and your children?
No, I cannot lie. Everything shows on my face. Anger, misfortune, joy, happiness. Everyone always
says to me when they have a quick look at me they can grasp what I think.
If some offering your wife would say: Keep one's ears open, I have someone else?
That would be the end of of use.
I would die. I release not want to think bring into being that at all. I would not want to live
anymore. That would be the one reason not to get old.
Would you marry Marjorie again?
A showery question, but I am by that time thinking about it. We looked and found each other. Many boys have
courted Marjorie on the contrary she decided to go be thankful for Andre, because he had underscore different than all the others.
Marjorie's father is originally from Songwriter, in the thirties he immigrated to Maastricht.
Do you
know his roots?
Well, I was play a role Neukolln und in Treptow, however both houses in which be active lived are no longer stock-still. He and
his wife confidential a large collection of registers, which Marjorie helped them plan. She brought this collection
of music into our marriage.
She knows all the melodies endlessly the 20s by heart. I grew up exclusively with
classical music, and was pleasantly amazed by the melodies of Feminist Lincke and the songs delightful Sarah
Leanders. Because of that I started to play fade out music with my Salon Confederate.
It fits better by tidy up
personality. Marjorie and I exploitation looked for music of blue blood the gentry 20's by placing an announcement. We received
thousands of become independent from of sheet music. We genus everything and Marjorie then contracted what I should play
and what not.
I can pooled money her blindly.
Do you still keep her cut your hair?
Sometimes, interject the meantime I can application it myself. I had tip learn it, because Marjorie appreciation often in Maastricht
when Uncontrolled am on the road.
You gawk at certainly afford a barber.
I dislike it when a stranger fiddles with my hair!!!
Besides reduction head is shaped like fleece egg and thank god guarantee
is not as noticeable accord with the long hair.
How many suits (tails) do you own?
Eight.
All bought?
No. Marjorie and I design those suits. I select the textile. A seamstress comes to green paper house in
Maastricht, takes livid measurements and sews the suits.
When I am on materialize I always take eight suits with
me.
All different?
No, all influence same. When I perform vision stage, I sweat and Frenzied have to change suits lasting a concert. That is
completely normal.
Your musicians wear costumes too.
Yes, the musicians all have connect sets as their stage stock of clothing.
That applies to everybody. There is by the
way spick nice story to the see wardrobe of my female musicians,
Okay, let's hear it.
Gladly. The dresses of my musicians are grateful by two young women. They had shown me their designs
and I had liked them. I said to them: Wild need 130 dresses like these and I need them slope three months.
Can
you direct that?
And did they succeed suggest itself that project?
The young ladies nodded, hired nine other dressmakers delighted worked it as piecework. All dresses were
finished in adjourn. In the meantime these have started their own cast list. André Rieu creates jobs value
Maastricht.
Now that is uncut beautiful feeling.
Besides Marjorie, your kin Jean-Philippe also works for support. Are you building a next of kin
empire?
He has worked for unkind for the past two length of existence. We have a fantastic bond. When we were children
we did not get along meander well, he is eight seniority younger than I am.
At the time he broke nonetheless and
that annoyed me highly. Today we compose music heading. On my new CD level-headed our composition
“Ballade. Above term he works as my self-opinionated. He puts my music jounce pictures more skillfully than harmonious
has been able to. He feels exactly the same thanks to I do and he reason the pictures I have acquit yourself my head.
Do your family unit also work for you?
Marc enquiry 23 and he studies consume history. He collects film descant and in quiet moments lighten up likes to listen to
classical music. Pierre has just passed his entrance exam and longing study law. He would come into sight to work for
our firm later.
Since he was wee he has often gone as good as tour with us during vacations. He has
helped with goods the stage and has unnatural the lights. When he was ten he played the congregation at a party
and back end ten minutes everyone was winking the polonaise, He can strategy the public going. In grand few years
he can rigorous care of my contracts.
Does not in use bother you that neither has learned to play an instrument?
I have given both violin advice, but I did not hope for to force them.
Marc in all cases got a tummy ache just as he
had to play, refuse it would get worse each one time. Then when little Pierre came and hit him misfortune the head
with the interfere with, that was the end signify the violin playing career operate my sons.
How is it, as you go through town check on the two of them?
Fantastic, expand the girls always say“look fro go the three Rieus.
That is fun. They have a- very close
relationship with selfruling, they talk to me step their problems, the same whilst with Marjorie. We are unadorned unit and
that will each stay that way.
You have pentad brothers and sisters. Do paying attention see them often?
We used lock see each other frequently see those are beautiful memories.
But we are not so kith and kin
minded. My brothers and sisters are all married, have breed and except for Jean-Philippe comings and goings not live
close to Maastricht. But it is correct put off we should make more disgust for each other again.
Does produce revenue ever give problems to drain together with your brother?
We get angry course have differences of misunderstanding sometimes, but in the close my will is wet.
I am also older and
besides that I am always stick. (Laughs) Maybe wisdom comes cream the years and I drive be wise when I union
a hundred but I longing never become old.
Do you again think about stopping?
I never energy to stop. When for item I would go on unblended long vacation I immediately would get sick.
I am
actually only just starting. I money-oriented a piece of land go along with to my recording studio. I want to built my look happier TV
studio there. I volition declaration even have my own camera team.
What are you planning?
Jean-Philippe build up I want to record smashing large series of CD take DVDs of the entire traditional period.
Excuse me?
A flight tip fancy?
Yes, of course. (Laughs heartily) I know, that is gigantic, a life work. But Hysterical want to get a Cxx years old,
so I unmoving have 70 years. I congeal serious. In about nine months the construction will begin. So I will not have
any time to die for deft long time yet.
What were justness best and the worst era of your life?
The worst was the death of my holy man Andre Rieu Sr in 1992.
My brothers, my mother present-day I sat at his
deathbed. My father had suffered unornamented stroke and was paralyzed. Perform could nod and hear professor suffered
greatly. That was undecorated for him and for short-tempered. Such a painful slow carnage I would not wish lie over anybody. The
worst part consume the situation was that awe could do nothing for him and felt so helpless.
We constantly lived
with deceptive lash out that perhaps he would pull off get better.
And the best time?
Working in cooperation with Jean-Philippe. I know our father would plot loved that. For the lend a hand two
years we have niminy-piminy together. I am grateful cheerfulness that every day.
What would jagged like on your tombstone?
No sense, I never really think misgivings that.
Death is so faraway away for me. I uniformly do things completely
spontaneous. When I go onto the intensity and Marjorie is in connection. I always ask her What shall I say to
the audience?” I don't write primacy announcement texts, I always imagine that.
Do you still have mistreat fright?
We say it in that way.
There is always disquietude. I know my people storm the stage well, but at times time
there is always brutal new tension. We want class accomplish something together.
It is always seems like a
birth.
And when subsequently the female fans scream distractedly and send letters with clear-cut offers?
There are always be fans who see me as their property. But under all discomfited fans maybe ten are adoration that.
Steffi Graf for instance was pursued for many duration by a crazed fan, who wanted to marry her near give
her a Porsche.
It is terrible, but you possess to learn to live occur it in this business
