André Rieu | New York Memories

André Rieu's latest CD and DVD - New York Memories - takes us to New York, home of the fabled Radio City Music Hall. 27 timeless favourites on the DVD include such American standards as "My Way", "Singin' in the Rain", and "Amazing Grace" as well as such Broadway hit songs as "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" and "Amigos Para Siempre". Complete with costumes, these lush arrangements once more present Rieu as the undisputed King of Shmooze. Poised as the headline act of our April André Rieu Festival - which will include four major concerts broadcast on Ovation TV as well as a free-to-air TV campaign - this is bound to be a top-seller for Mother's Day.

Various Artists | Finlandia - the Mystery and Magic of Sibelius

"Finlandia" is the name of not one, but TWO of Finland's most famous exports - Vodka, and a piece by Finland's greatest composer, Jean Sibelius, that went on to become the country's unofficial national anthem.

This attractive DVD and CD package pays homage to Sibelius in the year 2007 which marks the 50 th anniversary of his death.

The DVD's components include the famous "Classical Destinations" episode on Finland and a Four Seasons in Finland - which sets stunning scenery in Finland to selected music by Sibelius.

The CD is a "best of" Sibelius, all brilliantly conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy who made such an impression in Sydney with his Sibelius cycle in 2007.

11 JOHANN STRAUSS II: Tales from the Vienna Woods

Universal Music Australia's first classical CD + Cookbook!

Vienna is home not just of the waltz king but also of some of the world's most delicious chocolate confections. Not just where Mozart had many of his successes but also the city that founded the now internationally-devoured Wiener Schnitzel. Café Vienna is one of those CDs you can literally "eat". Its temptingly positioned ' Mohr im Hemd' (Chocolate Hazelnut Pudding) on the front cover invites you to a world of mouth-watering (and original) recipes and to a CD packed with Viennese delights. Fittingly, this stunningly-packaged product is released on Deutsche Grammophon - the Rolls Royce of record labels. While the Vienna Philharmonic holds court for the majority of the tracks on this album, we also have the stunning Australian coloratura Amelia Farrugia bringing us Tales from the Vienna Woods, and in the perfect marriage of food and music, there's a recipe for a Trout Quartet and a movement from Schubert's Trout Quintet. The recipe book + music CD formula worked brilliantly for "Hot Food - Cool Jazz" and "Allegro al dente" - and there's no reason why this promotion shouldn't see a similar success.

EPK

Everyone's favourite Italian is back and ready to send thousands of female hearts fluttering all over again with another tour of Australia in May. To celebrate his return, we are releasing a jam packed tour edition with an additional track and a DVD.

The additional track is Stand Up (Champion's Theme), the theme song for the World Cup Champion team from Italy.

The DVD features clips for Forever Begins Tonight, Un Angelo and Io Che Non Vivo. The highlight of the DVD is a 45 min concert originally produced for television in Europe featuring Patrizio's well know hits performed in an intimate setting.

Patrizio is quite simply an entertainer.   With his individual sense of style, charm, fun and with his rich baritone voice, Patrizio has become something of a unique performer in the modern world of musical entertainment.   Inspired by the cool Italian American singers of the 50s and 60s, Patrizio aspires to become a name synonymous with world-class entertainment alongside legendary performers such as Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones and Julio Iglesias.

His concerts are attended by three generations of fans from teenage girls to their parents and grandparents. Standing ovations, showers of gifts and queues of fans stretching out of concert halls and around the block for his autograph are now commonplace on tour and it is no surprise that the biggest promoters in Australia have snapped up Patrizio for long term commitments.
