Taped at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, July 2006, André Rieu brings an outstanding group of guest stars and musical themes together for this special. Remember little Akim at three years old playing a very little violin? He is back, now age five, and you will delight at his incredible talent.

André's rendition of "My Way," a tribute to Frank Sinatra, is very moving and will make the audience at home stand up and applaud. As always, Andre loves to surprise us with something special.

This special also features the Harlem Gospel Choir, along with the Strauss Orchestra, and André's choir of special voices for an all out musical wonder. You won't believe the beautiful music they make together.

André Rieu has created a unique mix of the high points of American and European romantic music. Besides the well-known tunes from films and musicals, he also plays the world-famous hit by Frank Sinatra "My Way" and the fabulous "Music of the Night" from "The Phantom," both as wonderful violin soloist, as well as the moving "Nuns Chorus" by Johann Strauss and the fiery Italian song that is so popular in New York, "Torna a Surriento."
