I didn't find a topic like this (Search function failed), but I'm sure it's there somewhere, if so please link me to it. If not, well there was this track called Dreaming of Newzealand www.andrerieu.com/en/webshop/cds/wiener-festwalzer/and-the-waltz-goes-on, in his album. If somebody could tell me when this was and such, it'd be sweet  , she though sounds as if it was recorded recently.... The sample was brilliant! |

wow I can't wait for this album to be released! my dad recently introduced me to Andre Rieu and I love his version of amazing grace and the blue Danube I have been hoping that Hayley would work with him at some point and now she has- I think it'll be a meaningful song for her- I hope she will sing it live one day
best wishes
Sing

This is exciting! He's always at the top of the classical charts, too, or much of the time, isn't he? So, even if Paradiso is down farther by Oct. 31, then at least Hayley will still be at the top with this album! And maybe she'll even be at the top of the pop charts with Jai McDowall's new album (Amazon says that'll be out in November)! Or would he qualify as classical, too? And how could she not sing that during her tour of New Zealand?  Her voice sounded so beautiful. |

Hello folks! I'm not a big fan of Andre Rieu's flamboyant style or his arrangements, but this album will be good for Hayley. It's certain to be a massive hit in the international charts.  In case anybody misses it, you can hear a sample of Hayley's vocal by clicking on this link and scrolling down to track 17: www.andrerieu.com/en/webshop/cds/wiener-festwalzer/and-the-waltz-goes-onThe international release date is 31st October 2011.

Hi Richard! Funny thing is, that my favourie thing about Andre Rieu is the schmaltz! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif It just makes me smile and I do enjoy how it is just unashamedly fun. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif This will be a big thing for Hayley. Andre Rieu sells so many DVDs and CDs in Australia. His concerts are massive and sell out huge sports stadiums. I would wager that this collaboration will mean more Australians will hear Hayley than with Paradiso and Treasure put together. It would be great if Hayley was to perform with Andre - on his next New Zealand tour perhaps. I'd love to see Hayley done up in the Andre Rieu stage costume of huge ball gown with massive hair! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif This means that my two favourite female singers - Hayley and Mirusia - both have recorded with Andre Rieu. Cheers, Jillian P.S The only thing that could make that CD better would also to have a recording of Mirusia singing 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina' on it. Love that performance. Hopefully that will be on the DVD that comes with it. |

Hello Jillian! I've just listened to a few more of the samples, and I will admit I like the album more than Andre's previous releases. I'll definitely buy it, and I'm about to post a link to this thread on our Facebook page. Best Wishes, Richard |

This is so exciting! I love Andre's work, he is really fantastic. I'm actually surprised this hadn't happened sooner.
Can't wait!

Yay, so I found something valuable for this forums XD... Thanks Joe! Lovely photos! And indeed she sounds amazing on this recording Would be a trasure to hear it performed live with the orchestra. "Dreaming of Newzealand" No one is more qualified to sing this song than Hayley |
