sixty three years she succeeded in getting a green and. it was the first those modern diplomacy. sixteen forty. six starts october twenty fourth w. . bush famous violinist and conductor under a million joins us next as the show goes out on the road. hi everyone and welcome to this very special edition of your own max where we have a very special guest co-hosting the program with us and today it is maestro andre

were you conductor and musician thank you so much for having us today and welcoming us in your beautiful home it's fantastic to have you here thank you were in my shoes to wear out of the studio mystery you know we're called the king of the waltz how do you do you accept this title of course it's good to have. that you gave it to me the media and the right not myself but i can live with it or you come from a musical background i've read quite a bit about your musical history was there ever any doubt in your life that you would become a musician no no that's true. my mother told me that i was five i think you have good times for the violin so here is the violin and that was the start. i attended to all the concerts of my father and so saw the whole classical music i heard told classical music but. the waltz was always there always because he loved

to play in the encores waltzes and as a small boy i was sitting there you know the whole concept of our mining of beethoven whatever it was because everybody was so serious and then suddenly at the wall street people started to smile and to be happy and i think that was the beginning that i was in law for that will are we are going to come to the wild but actually my story or has sold more concerts i believe than pop star beyonce and you've managed to turn your passion for classical music into a multi-million euro business so let's take a closer look at the life and career of on tell you. andre three you're the king of the waltz lives in the dutch city of must push. he delights fans the world over it's classical music as

a show of it with plenty of surprises and laughs that's. his coworkers describe him as strict but with a keen sense of humor he's not just a violinist he leads in the largest private orchestra in the world with a permanent ensemble of about fifty musicians. was. at the orgy of the. trumpet sounds different this time let me hear the other one of three pts. you want. the other one sounds more italian. undergoing he was born in one thousand nine

hundred forty nine into a family of musicians in moscow he started learning to play the violin when he was five later he played with various dutch ensembles. nineteen ninety five saw his international break through he performed a half time at the champions league football match between byron munich and i actually amsterdam afterwards his sales went through the roof. of the league. but his elaborate stage shows threatened to become an obstacle in his path to success in two thousand and eight. that's all history now and the real venture is back in the black his tours take him all over the world so there are always four copies of his sets. several coffees are also made of the custom tailored costumes he designs himself.

under the years has turned his love of classical music into a million year old business and this waltz king is living his own fairy tale thanks to you that one of the keys to your success at least what i've observed is your sense of humor and your interaction with your audience as you conduct or hear or back to resistance but facing your audience and you often have your solo with interact in a funny way in the audience reacts. you know how did you come to to do this what what how do you come to this idea i think it was it was inside me. back to my mother so you said. it was to me under a don't look to people into the eyes that's not polite but i think that's a life when i don't look you into your eyes i mean how can i make contact with you and so that's what i do with my whole audience now you're johann strauss orchestra

you founded in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven you were already a professional musician working you'd already established your career more or less what inspired you to create the orchestra because of my colleagues in the so-called classical orcus as you know they were sitting there playing the notes and then complaining about it's too hot it's too cold not enough money when is the next holiday nobody spoke about the music and then much of my wife she saw me coming back from the hustle every day more unhappy and she said you know. the money for you and you'll follow your dream because that was my own office or it's a great partnership you're still with me it's still yeah yeah i always dreamt to marry a wife that i would be working with so not that she would be a dentist anonymization you know i wanted to do everything together and that's what we still do you know you're able to get people to attend classical music concerts

that may never do that you know what is your secret method really i think the secret is that we when we play classical music we don't. adapt it to the great audience by putting a beat on the beethoven there is something you know we play it like it should be played but in the whole context that that they accept it more with humor. ok you helped us put this program together today and one of the subjects that you chose for the report on rome and yeah why do you like rome so much first of all because that's my holiday once once a year ago sui days to rome with the whole family and secondly because i'm very fascinated by the romans how they created all this. things that i could create and that time. i would i would like to think big like they like but without

blood. everything with lots and cruelty. i would like to think big but with. our we would like to take our viewers on a tour through the city of la i think that for a fair designation for rome and we're going to do like the romans do on a vessel. if you want to see all the sights of rome you'll need plenty of time this city has more than two thousand seven hundred years of history. and that's evident wherever you look. tired historian valeted you've been easy is a tour guide in rome his company rome i mean our view offers tours on desperate scooters. ok yeah. he's typical italian scooters are ideal for weeding through the busy traffic in rome. we pass all the main sites like the colosseum which dates back to around eighty eighty. in the moment but

there are two things i like about driving a best buy around rome firstly i like the sound of the engine and secondly i realize how many beautiful places there are i drive past the castille santangelo and st peter's basilica through all the little streets and past the fountains and i think rome is fantastic a lot of it i mean to be called on my from. the roman forum it was the centerpiece of ancient rome and today a key area for excavation to form gives an idea of what life was like in rome in the days of julius caesar and emperor augustus. put it best so much at the rome would like to be both an ancient and a modern city but whenever we start digging we find a roman villa or a capital. which we just have to accept all of the wrong. being a museum. can only adapt to modern times in a limited way. i'm sure to meet the. level didn't. want to be

advantages of driving through rome on a vest but is that it seems to escape the traffic jams. that unique human hill offers a welcome haven and the best views of the city. the financial not the fatigue after all hard day's work money we locals from rome like to come here to relax a little on sundays we visit the many parks you can see from up here that was supposed to swim back there we see the low lying dome that's the dome of the pantheon which is around two thousand years old. and that was to the left is the white church with the two towers three any kind of a monkey which stands alone in this manner steps. outside the spot and then there's the villain maybe she did i mean that she. did might be a good idea to hit the tourist sites in highest demand early in the morning or late in the evening. after just one day of riding around rome on a vest but it's clear we need more time if we want to see all of

a least capital city. so when you are in rome and you're famous can you walk around like a typical tourist or people come up to you and why are your autograph. because once we were there and the pope what's coming to a. place wait and wait they're winning i was standing there giving autographs giving all to rights and then the pope came and all the people who was that. oh ok so you're more famous than the poet. ever. now when you're on the road quite a lot is called to follow routine i mean and especially in terms of food you know do you are you a big fan of a time cuisine i had because where we have our own cooks i wrote yeah and that's a several reasons at the beginning we we didn't have cokes and then you on the they

were years coming so to that serve. the next city we came that's so if we know it's not so and so we were eating a whole week we know snit so so to avoid that we said ok we have our own cooks and that's healthier and you don't have to wait and sit right speaking of the national thought i'd also know you're a fan of vienna yeah yeah. and this is where johann strauss the second more or less perfected the wild in the form that we know it ok so we know your music is about the wild for it but do you dance the wealth i dance now let me play ok you prefer to vienna is essentially where the waltz was made popular one hundred and eighty years ago and but to in today's day and age people are still dancing it aren't they yes happily you know every night when we give

a concert and we play the danube. and don't tell them to stand up and dance but that's the way we play it and then you can play the. film and then nobody will stand up but when your play to the whim you. need. and then it goes like that ok well we were recently in vienna to see if young people are still down. this dance school and all strays capitalist patiala viennese tradition to the next generation pupils swell and float around the hall in times of the music the viennese waltz fast became fashionable here in the eighteenth century still popular bowls and parties today so once learn to understand that because all friends like honestly all the princesses in the world is they could also then alfonso learn that

bats are going to matter is a survivor and that i think the waltz is either just as easy or of just as hard for both partners depending on how well they master the music and the steps in the scene there the. fire to myself music to speak to me the wall says something viennese about it it's a viennese tradition this not so fun it's also one of the most frequent dances that pulls the stimulus to home i think it's a very harmonious dance it represents austria it's part of our culture like the munition it's just when you see information for someone plays a waltz everyone immediately starts moving you just can't help it focused on. the viennese waltz is one of the world's fastest dances it was first mentioned in the late seventeenth century and soon became established as a ballroom dance both with the nobility and the middle classes it's still a hit with young and old today the world over there are various reasons why me.

it's so popular. we even make it easy to don's turning right or left the music. music is beautiful heartedness i'm sure it's a lovely feeling moving in three four times and it's right for us we just like to dance by. the compositions of johann strauss the younger made the viennese waltz some worldwide success musician and composer wrote such classics as the blue danube wilds and reshape the popular image of vienna. this museum chronicles his work and that of the entire strauss in a state panish to music research how much reichen now is a co-founder he spent years studying the history of the strauss family which produced so many great musicians that both. the breakthrough came with johann strauss the elder around eighteen thirty he went on concert tours of england in

france and caused a huge sensation with his waltzes. heel hunched all so then his son also called johann perfected the form of the waltz yet they still pull the heels if his brother you also have played a decisive part and together they expanded on the waltz form. many original documents some displayed in several rooms johann strauss the young no was born in eighteen twenty five he composed nearly five hundred. not far from the museum is the vienna stage opera the size of the annual opera bowl it traditionally opens with a viennese waltz. is on the feel good times through the d.n.a. is walter's dance especially often at vienna's balls we have around four hundred fifty of these events a year practically every week except in july and august here but she is there that and virtually every time they dance

a viennese waltz is right from the start. it's always the opening waltz of those fires the. one seeing successfully means practice practice and practice some more vienna's down schools have no shortage of customers . so i guess it's fair to say that you are carrying on the strauss family dynasty with your music and encouraging the popular down through the dance do you think it will still live on one hundred eighty years do you think it will follow on forever while ever the old says for ever because. it's something that it's in the blood of everybody it's like the heart beat beat goes one two if we want to we will. so you don't you you only have to follow your heart beat now johann strauss both

father and son and the other sons they composed their own wealth if you compose your own music yes every now and then every now and then but they were there were geniuses and i'm only your musician so i'm very very lucky that i can play their beautiful music now what do you think it is it because the the waltz is so easy to dance or that it makes it so don't feel there was an audience easy at all you don't think if you know it's very very difficult it's really very deflator to dance both both how because i've heard other things are very often i see so-called classical or cassettes and oh yeah let's play a waltz and ok we have five minutes so let's do it because it's easy no it's not easy but then why is it so popular which are audiences i think because of the rhythm one two three you think a lot of computing power long even if you're not musical and it's very interesting when i am in the audience i see my whole audience is that i played the.

whole audience thoughts but one man sitting there not me and that's the critic ok oh all right i think you could so it's all right why they always say that it's a question of let yourself go right when you don't want yourself gift get yourself to the walls and then it's a fantastic. you know well one thing that is quite clear to any observer of your concerts is how you bring in men's joy to them and there are scientific findings that music is there a few tick makes everyone feel good so let's take a closer look at a report on this theory never going to. music gets us moving. it brings a smile to our faces. and it touches our emotions

in short music makes us happy. and dutch neural psychologist erik shadow knows why his book singing in the brain explains just what happens inside our brains when we listen to music. one thing that has been described in literature music is expectation so the moment you think all right this is of. no novelty when death moments arrives right then you will find i will split up the right list if you will find the need to face of the reward system this is the system that you think yes this is what i want. reading sheet music and performing at the same time can be challenging but professionals like i'm going to have trained their brains to master both skills at once so they can handle both with ease. you will see that if he uses a less brain areas less neural systems for playing at

a fairly high level that's his expertise and by doing that the bill remain a lot of neural circuits will remain and all of the energy will stay there extra energy and business extra energy he will actually paid neural systems that will enable him to elaborate. on the. and that allows violinist on the plane and his orchestra to put on a truly spectacular show so how does the audience feel. excited and i love i should have about it here is happy happier i'm. not in the i have no words i want to laugh i want to cry on says everything at the same time. concertmaster frank stein's incredible talent also helps things along.

he joined on to play videos johann strauss forecast a more than twenty years ago. when i started playing violin you have to look at each finger you have to think about each ball you're doing and studying more and more and more everything disappears it just happens but the magic need something it's like someone a part of me is doing all this and i have my brain free to do something else. music can conjure up powerful emotions and help our brains develop that's why eric shanteau want schools to offer music classes. concerning the defilement of the brain our children up until thirty years of age. particularly the white matter particularly in the prefrontal cortex is still be thought of until thirty years of age so that to do with as optimal as possible we would like to challenge the brain

as much as sports and music should be one of those challenges. music is evidently much more than just stellar entertainment so fans attending undervalues concerts are not just having a great time they're training their brains to. ok here people making people have happy as i mentioned before. you bring tears to your audience i think. you know where people are and i actually watching some of your videos one with sir anthony hopkins absolute tears away as it was very moving you're about and you've managed to do this and all strella as well as trains are huge fans of your film what do you do differently there don't do nothing different they dare put the audience there is very down to earth. and i think we are down to earth also so we are doing normal your hundred said it and the whole and through a normal year old specially enough so it's that hardy australians are and and then there's

a click between us william the audience and. our music and my orchestra ok and then in fact is one of your biggest audience his concerts took place in australia in melbourne i believe him yes it's true that now the biggest was in the toronto but that's an australian that's totally decimated account and. ok are you planning on going back to australia or yes you know we go now in november we go back to its credit to get christmas concerts ok but you're also planning you've got a couple things in the mix but you've got a big tour coming up in september fifteenth tell me a little bit about that effect i'm always on tour so it's not that. the tour coming up. first the other concepts of my straight we go after the break we go to argentina now then we go to america then we go towards freddy had to quit back to england and then to germany. or how do you keep track of all of this how do you get jetlag i mean who got that set like points that scientific.

find something. that's unethical to its knees and you ever lose track of what city you're in always i'm always asking where are we because you know the only thing but that's true of the people aspect that must be very tiring but it is not it is. once on the roads i'm on a holiday because the only thing i have to do is to go to was my office or we jump in the bus with jump on stage we do our music we go to the tell with sleep we go back so everything is all going their eyes my toria we are out of time for today but thank you so much for having us in your life you are at home and thank you to all of you for tuning in with me making me and my show ontario a.
