André Rieu, seven consecutive shows in Bucharest

The dutch violonist André Rieu (66yo) is in a full string of seven successive concerts in Romanian capital, between 5th and 14th of June.

The organisers said this is "one of the biggest musical production ever staged in Bucharest".

The show's scene is set up in front of the second largest building in the world, Palatul Parlamentului, erected during the Ceausescu's regime.

André Léon Marie Nicolas Rieu is best known for creating the waltz-playing Johann Strauss Orchestra.

Together they have turned classical and waltz music into a worldwide concert touring act, as successful as some of the biggest global pop and rock music acts.

"Accused of kitsch, but in the same time reccomended as a sensational violonist, André Rieu is one of the today's best paid musicians.

"He stirs strong reactions everywhere he goes", writes Romania Cultural public radio, the organizer of the debate "Pro or against André Rieu?"
