Andre Rieu - And The Waltz Goes On

And the Waltz Goes On is a studio international album by Dutch violinist André Rieu and features Christchurch soprano Hayley Westenra on last track “Dreaming Of New Zealand”.

The album is to be released on October 31 internationally, presents waltzes from around the world – a sad waltz “Valse Triste” from Finland, a miniature waltz “La petite Valse” from France, a popular waltz tune that began life in Germany.

Anthony Hopkins composed a waltz called “And the waltz goes on” on the album.

With reaching across continents to New Zealand, inspired by its stunning landscape,hear­tbroken by the natural disasters that has beset it in recent times, elevated by the indomitable ‘life must go on’ attitude of its people, André penned another waltz, a dreamlike waltz, like mountains seen through the mist; “Dreaming Of New Zealand” was the only title it could have. You can hear it on this album both, as a song without words and an alternative version with words, dovetailing both English and Maori texts. (Wikipedia)
