lou famous violinist and conductor under the ring and joins us next as the show goes out on the road yes. 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 we're in maastricht we're out of the studio mystery or 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 a it's you who 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 there waltz was always there always because he loves to play in the on course waltzes and as a small boy i was sitting there you know the whole concept of money in the beethoven whatever it was it was but he was so serious and then suddenly. at the wall street people started to smile that will 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 a vent 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 the largest private orchestra in the world with a permanent ensemble of about fifty musicians.

and the orgy of the proposition that the trumpet sounds different this time let me hear the other one of three pts. you want. the other one sounds more timely. 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 breakthrough he performed at halftime at the champions league football match between byron munich and i.x. amsterdam afterwards his sales went through the roof. on the

view. but his elaborate stage shows threatened to become an obstacle in his path to success in two thousand and eight he had a life sized replica of vienna should have been palace built as a set and shipped to australia in more than two hundred containers the colossal undertaking pushed him to the edge of bankruptcy. that's all history now and the renewed 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 thirty is 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 is you

conduct your back to resistance but facing your audience and you often have your solo with interact in a funny way in the audience react. you know how did you. to come to to do this what what how do you come to this idea i think it was it was inside me again back to my mother she said always 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 as he was 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 their 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. my wife she saw me coming back from the saw every day more unhappy and she said you know i am the money for you and you'll follow your dream because that was my own orchestra it's a great partnership you're still with us yes yeah yeah i always dreamt to marry a wife that i would be working with so i know that she would be a dentist anonymization now i want 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 or 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 sweet days to rome with the whole family. secondly because i'm very fascinated by the romans how they created all this things they could create and that time. i would i would like to think big like like i did but without blood. everything with lots and cruelty. i would like to think big but with love. i would like to take our viewers on a tour through the city of love 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 rooms 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. hard historian believe you've been easy is a tour guide in rome his company room on the interview offers tours on desperate scooters. ok yeah. he's typical italian scooters are ideal for weeding through the busy traffic in rome. we pass on the main sites like the colosseum which takes pancho around eighteen. in the home of the there are two things i like about driving a best buy around rome firstly i like the sound of the engine and secondly i realise 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 little bit i mean pretty good 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 to achieve that 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. that ought should we just have to assemble all of iran being a museum. so we can only adapt to modern times in a limited way should let them sort of mold them shifty to meet the pedestal 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 use of the city. in a drawn out the fatigue after a hard day's work money we locals from rome like to come here to relax and on

sundays we visit the many parks you can see from up here that we suppose it's going back there we see the low lying don't 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 trini tied to a monkey which stands above this and are steps. outside the span and then there's the villa maybe cheated on me 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 wanted to see all of italy's 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 was coming to

a place wait and wait there winning i was standing there giving autographs giving autographs and then the pope came and all the people asked who was that. oh ok so you're more famous than the poet. now when you're on the road quite a lot of called to follow routine i mean and especially in terms of food you know do you are you fix fan of a time cuisine. because where we have our own cooks and we wrote yeah that's a several reasons so the beginning we we didn't have our coats and then the new they were years coming so let's serve. the next city we came that so if we know it's not so and so we were eating a whole week we know sneed so so to avoid that we said ok we have cokes and that's healthier and you don't have to wait and sit right speaking of 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. 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 played when they were played. and then nobody will stand up but when you're played to be when you. need.

it. and then it goes like that ok well we were recently in vienna to see if young people are still down. this dance school in austria's capital is passing on a viennese tradition to the next generation pupil swirling 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 print like honestly all the princesses in the world is they could also down the aisle for once to learn that i'm back to going to the meadow 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 in the steps. we see there the. fire to myself music to speak to me the wall says something

viennese about it it's a viennese tradition this knots of 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 an honest when you see information about 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 boring dance both with the nobility and the middle classes and still a hit with young and old today the world over there are various reasons why. it's a popular. greek wish it would make it easier to dance turning right or left the music. music is beautiful all to the time for 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 won't and reshape the popular image of vienna. this museum chronicles his work and that of the entire strauss in a state banister 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 work 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. he'll hunched well so then his son also called johann perfected the form of the waltz yet they say he'll say if his brother you also played a decisive part and together they expanded on the waltz form.

many original documents some displayed in separate rooms johann strauss the younger was born in eight hundred 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 viennese waltz his 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 and here by a tree is this cut and virtually every time they dance a viennese waltz is right from the start. it's always the opening waltz of fools fight so. one seeing successfully means practice practice and practice some more vienna's dance schools of new shows each 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 than three b. down through think it will still live on one hundred eighty years you think it was still on for whatever 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 end it so you don't you're going to have to follow your heart beat now johann strauss both father and son and the other sons they composed their own walls and if you compose your own music yes every now and then every now and then but they were they were genius 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 wilds is so

easy to dance or that it makes it so no one killer with an idea and easy at all you don't think you know it's very very difficult it's really very deflator to dance both both how because i've heard other things that 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 with general audiences i think because of the rhythm one two three you think a lot of people can count on 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 play the. whole audience thought but one man sitting there not me and that's the critic ok oh all right then you can so it's all right why do i say that it's a question of letters self go right when you don't want yourself if get

yourself to the walls and then it's a fantastic. you know see 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 appear to take makes everyone feel good so let's take a closer look at a report on this theory here we're 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 neuropsychologist eric shanteau 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 the literature of music is expectation so the moment you think oh

right this is a. known melody when death moments arrives right then you will find i will split up the right list if you will find them and 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 on think that you have trained their brains to master both skills at once so they can handle both with ease. you will see that he uses a less brain areas less neural systems for playing at a very high level that's his expertise and by doing this the bill remain a lot of neural circuits will remain and all of the energy will stay there extra energy and business excess energy you elect to pave neural systems that will enable him to liberate.

i and that allows violinist on the place and his orchestra to put on a truly spectacular show so how does the audience feel. excited and. what he should have about hears happy happy or. not and 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 also cast a more than twenty years ago. when i started playing violin you had 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 automatically it's 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 one schools to offer music classes. concerning the defilement of the brain i would children up until thirty years of age. particularly the white matter particularly in the prefrontal cortex may still be thought of until thirty years of age so that to do with as optimal as possible we will like to challenge the brain as much justice 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 we hear people making people have happy for you you bring tears to your audience. you know where people

are and i actually watching somewhere today was one with sir anthony hopkins right 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 yours so you know what do you do differently there don't do nothing different they did it but 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 normal your specially enough so it's hardly australians are and and then there's a clique 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 yeah now the biggest was in the toronto but that's an australian that's totally i definitely cannot i mean. ok are you

planning on going back to australia or yes you know we go no 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. a tour coming up. first the other concepts i'm on straight then we go after the break we go to a twenty now then we go to america then we go towards freddy up to and quick 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 a point that is 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 i was with that must be very tiring but it is not it is. once on the roads i am on

a holiday because the only thing i have to do is together with my office or we jump in the bus with jump on stage we do our music we go to hell with sleep we go back so everything is all going to us much oriya we are out of time for today but thank you so much for having us and you have you to home and thank you to all of you for tuning in with me meghan lee and maestro ontario like there.
