Andre Rieu's a famous Dutch violinist Started learning violin aged just five My own personal opinion is that He’s the greatest violinist alive! He’s known as ‘King of the waltz’ A conductor and violinist supreme The moment he plays the first note Of the Blue Danube, I begin to beam He plays music all over the world With the Johann Strauss Orchestra He owns ‘Ex captain Saville’ Stradivarius It’s small wonder he’s a super star!
