Featuring an array of traditional waltzes from Finland ("Valse Triste"), France ("La Petite Valse"), and Austria ("Wien Wird Bei Nacht Erst Schon"),
And the Waltz Goes On is the 2011, globe-trotting second release from the prolific Dutch composer and violinist
André Rieu. Its 20 tracks include orchestral reworkings of show tunes (Phantom of the Opera's "The Music of the Night," "Singing in the Rain") and easy listening standards ("We'll Meet Again," "Are You Lonesome Tonight"), alongside a collaboration with soprano
Hayley Westenra ("Dreaming of New Zealand"), and the title track, an original composition penned by none other than
Sir Anthony Hopkins. ~ Jon O'Brien
