It is an open air concert in Andre Rieu's home town (in summer of 2005) in Maastricht (NL) and has wonderful song selections from waltzes to classical pieces, from Broadway to polkas. With great atmosphere of concert, it returns to an open air party with lots of joy and beautiful music. People are dancing and singing in the streets along with Andre Rieu and Johann Strauss Orchestra.
This DVD is 16:9 in screen format with some bonus features on disc. Andre speaks in Dutch, but subtitles are available. On the Other hand audio is Dolby5.0 (please see comments below) and Dolby2.0. Soloists are Susan Erens, Carla Maffioletti, Carmen Monarcha and The Platin Tenors. As extra features it has a 25 minutes TV special by local tv and three extra tracks namely My Father's Favorite, Halleluja, Milord. Also there is a 2 minutes rapid motion video showing preparations for the concert.
I strongly recommend this DVD to all fans and starters of this genre. You will have great joy and you will find yourself watching this DVD over and over again. Also I can recommend this DVD as a gift for your friends and loved-ones, you won't be disappointed and (believe me) they will adore your choice...
European Version September 4, 2006

Not certain..but i believe Andre's latest DVD "Songs from my Heart" that I purchased from his website is "Homecoming" (USA)version. Every time he puts out a DVD..i keep saying..this is the best one yet..well..here we go again..there are 28 tracks on this DVD..for me..every one was enjoyable..he performed this in his hometown Maastrich. He has 3 tenors as guest's..they are fabulous..and when they perform with Andre's 3 sopranos..unbeatable..when Carmen does "Song of Vilja"..your heart will melt..for all the Andre fans..this DVD is a must for your collection..I hope the USA company putting out "Homecoming" has improved in quality..seems in the past they have not been up to par with the European versions.
The Master of the "Romantic Happening" October 21, 2006
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
Since Woodstock, Rock and Roll has had its super events, ie. Happenings. Luciano Pavarotti was famous for them for opera lovers. Andre Rieu is the master of Happenings for Romantics, people who love contemporary and light classical music in the romantic vein.
"The Homecoming" is Andre's best happening yet. Here he is showing his love for Maastricht his hometown. His productions in Dublin and Tuscany Italy were outstanding but they were in other lands than from which he sprang. His use of the town itself and its town square as his location add to this love affair.
It differs from his other productions in that the majority of the audiance is from this town rich in over 2000 years of history. Andre's selection of songs not only brings out their cultural loves but their passionate love of Maastricht. Being from the United States I am not use to cities with City Anthems and very, very few with multiple love songs sung to them.
There is far more audience participation in the songs presented with thousands of people matching the vocal performers word for word.
This is a MUST for all romantics let alone all Andre Rieu fans!

One word, WOW! Having attended every concert, this DVD is a full concert. Great music, full of joy. It is a foot thumper if you like European music sprinkled with good old American show songs.
Andre Rieu provides sheer enchantment through music April 22, 2007
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Last night, Alessandra Prado, Carmen Bradley, Lina Navarini, Alexander J. Ariano and I had the opportunity to see Andre Rieu, LIVE, at the Bank Atlantic Center, in Sunrise, Florida, which he kept up calling Fort Lauderdale.
As he enters the room, the sounds of his violin capture our spirits and we knew we were in for a delightful experience. All orchestra members dressed to replicate the times when the Waltz was at its best, to share the magic of Vienna with fans, and to provide us with sheer enchantment through his music.
This is the second time we choose to see him in South Florida and something tells me that we shall continue to go to his concerts for as we watch him we fall under the spell of a man, who seems to love what he does so much, that as we watch we are filled with joy, as he conducts and plays some of the best music ever written.
So, we bought The Homecoming and watch it regularly, all I have to do is close my eyes and I see him on stage, his broad smile worn as a badge of courage to live life to its fullest, the twinkle in his eye making us wonder what to do to make sure we live our lives in such a way that we too learn to share the best of ourselves with humanity.
This DVD will provide you with some of his most delightful performances, amongst which are my favorites: Carmen... Funiculi, Funicula... and I Could Have Danced All Night!
This is an open air concert, delivered Maastricht, which is Andre Rieu's home town. As with most of his concerts, the atmosphere is filled with joy and beautiful music. We get to witness his electrifying performance encouraging the townspeople to dance and sing.
Sincerely recommend obtaining this classic and take the time to thank my good fortune to be alive during the times when Andre Rieu is with us, for I have enjoyed his music tremendously. As a child I read the story and own the books and the DVDs that capture the lives of the Emperor of Austria, Franz Josef as he meets, falls in love with, and then marries the Austrian princess Sissi.
This couple lived during the times of Johan Strauss, and Sissi inspires many of the wonderful waltzes played by Andre Rieu. So, to see him live and realize that he even brought someone out to sing as if she was Sissi, dressed in the fashion that made her beauty so famous, with flower adorned hair... was... a dream come true!
Therefore, our group has decided to follow Andre Reiu's recommendations and we are planning to travel to Vienna 2008... to enjoy his music, right by the famous castle where Sissi and Franz Josef lived the most romantic of all lives... transformed and shared with the world as a story, book, and movie!!! Austria... thanks to Andre Rieu... we shall visit in 2008!
