ANDRÉ RIEU Live In Australia DVD
December 10th 2008 01:06
ANDRÉ RIEU Live In Australia DVD has become the fastest selling in Australian DVD Sales history: André Rieu’s tribute to his Australian fans, the DVD Live In Australia, filmed in Melbourne on November 15, has been so eagerly anticipated that it has become the first title to surpass 120,000 orders by retailers. This is the largest ever quantity of DVD’s that Universal Music Australia has despatched for a single title. This figure sees André’s Live In Australia go 8 x platinum, before it has even hit the stores. A 2CD recording is also being released at the same time.
“I’m simply staggered!” said André, when he heard about the extraordinary demand for his DVD. “The people of Australia opened their hearts to my music and made me feel so welcome. I had hoped, in some small way, I could repay my fans with the gift of music recorded in your beautiful country… The whole reception has been overwhelming and I can’t wait to be back in Australia in 2009 for more concerts”.
André Rieu’s debut concert tour of Australia was a series of firsts…
- The first time a DVD and CD have so quickly been released from a concert (a mere three weeks).
- The first time a classical artist has turned out to be the biggest selling artist in the country – the feat was accomplished in 2007 and is likely to be repeated in 2008.
- André Rieu has been the first artist to consistently dominate the ARIA DVD charts over a period of two years and the ARIA Classical (CD) charts this year.
- The first artist to have held the No.1 spot in the DVD charts for 44 weeks in one year.
- The first artist to hold down 9 titles in the Top 10 DVD chart.
- The first artist to boast 75% (15 out of 20) titles in the Classical chart.
- The first classical superstar to appear on “Neighbours”. The episode featuring André is scheduled to be broadcast in April 2009.
- The first time André Rieu has toured his mighty Schönbrunn castle set around any country.
- The first classical artist to appear across all free-to-air television networks in the duration of a concert tour.
