André Rieu - And The Waltz Goes On 

I wonder how many magnificent pieces like this are hidden in someone's drawers. Can't imagine Sir Hopkins kept it for 50 years! Bravo!!!

I am musician and I play the oboe and the piano and I can tell you that this is one of the best waltzes I have ever heard.

2024, and this is still so beautiful....such as an incredible piece of music ❤

I can't believe I discovered this masterpiece just a few weeks ago. It's so beautiful... just amazing. And I can't get it out of my head. I'm humming it every day. On my bike (to and from work), at work, at home... It's the best catching tune I heard in years!

Sir Anthony Hopkins is literally a gift to this world! What an absolutely amazing human being!

I think the most beautiful thing about this, is that you can see how much his wife loves him. How happy she is for him.

❤Thankyou Sir Anthony and Andre Reiu for bringing so much to so many.God bless you both😊

This wonderful piece of art triggers a common part in humanity regardless any cultural background. It's like a fairy tale, simple to understand yet contains deep emotional meanings.

Oh my GOD Sir Antony Hopkins composed this Waltz 50 years ago?? i wonder if he did not change his career and become that legendary actor probably he would be another Strauss

That was just 11 minutes of pure positive feelings

Sir anthony hopkins sieht man die Freude an, der grandiosen Umsetzung des Walzers das er komponiert hat, von André Rieu.

Das ist der schönste Walzer den ich in meinem Leben gehört habe. Ich habe nicht viele gehört aber diese ist einfach nur wunderbar. Meines Erachtens ist Sir Anthony Hopkins mit dieser Komposition unsterblich geworden.

I went from listening to hardcore rap to this... and I must say I don’t regret my journey. This is amazing.

Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things.

If you’re reading this comment, it’s too late, you’ve already been immensely blessed with an abundance of love, wealth, luck, health, joy, and whatever else your heart desires!! I’m so proud of you for surviving everything you’ve been through. This is your sign to go after what your heart most desires for the highest good, it’s your time....

Not only is the composition and performance absolutely amazing, but what a stunning location for such an incredible and perfectly intimate show.

I always admired Hopkins, but now i have another level of respect for him. Beautiful waltz!

Anybody here in 2022? I am in tears.

Kakav govor. Bravo Gospodine. A jos kakav glamurozni aplauz. Sav sam se najezio. Postovanje svima vama koji slusate i volite ovakve divne ljude. Ogroman i veliki pozdrav ❤️❤️

I found this piece first time through an Instagram reels and immediately I listened to it. This piece suits perfectly for a movie theme and Sir Anthony Hopkins did a great job on composing such a beautiful waltz. Hope someday he still compose another music, bravo!

"Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin never died. They simply became their music."

What a beautiful story, Sir Anthony Hopkins could finally listen his wonderful waltz played. He must have felt very proud and happy.

Who would thought a world renowned actor such as Sir Anthony Hopkins could possibly write such a wonderful waltz Just brilliant

I didn't know he was a musician until now. What a marvelous composition! Sir Anthony Hopkins you are indeed gifted. Thank you for sharing it with the world. It will make us all remember you ever! ❤

Даже трудно представить, что чувствует человек, осуществивший настолько давнюю мечту, мечту юности.

I literally drop tears while hearing and saw his genuine happiness face over his long awaited dream come true. Beautiful. Salute to Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Im a grown ass man. Why am i crying?

Единственный оркестр, который создаёт праздник! Огромное спасибо за радость и тёплые ощущения! Дай Бог здоровья, счастья, удачи, успехов, благополучия, процветания и всего самого наилучшего!

Also, gotta love the way Sir Anthony Hopkins keeps smiling :) after 50 years... I can barely imagine how he must've felt! Incredible~

Хопкинс еще более офигенен, чем я думал!

Боже, невыносимо красивый вальс! Слушала со слезами на глазах! Какая нежность, страсть, темперамент! Браво, сэр Энтони Хопкинс!!!

One of my most favourite valses - definitely on par with Johann Strauss. Thank you Sir Anthony, thank you Andre, thank you to all who are performing and the ones behind the scenes! ♥

I am just a guy who listen to all kind of music. But this Waltz is now the number one in my playlist.

when some one made a music with their heart...the beauties can make you cry of joy . well done Sir Anthony Hopkins .Bravo!

Heard this masterpiece 10 years ago. Who else is watching this in 2023?

Sometimes less is more. I don't really like avid classical listeners to criticize this work because they get too caught up and obsessed about the most little technical parts of the composition until they don't really know how to listen to a simple piece which can move a normal listener, smile and get goosebumps. Don't get too obsessed deeply in classical music and lose yourself from all the simplicities in life. Sometimes less is more. And this is more than an average piece. To my ears (and I don't give a shit about what people think,) it is a beautiful piece.

Sir Anthony Hopkins must've been in a particularly happy moment in his life because it"s so positive, full of happiness. And also, the fact that André Rieu agreed to play it means that he recognised and respects the talent of Sir Anthony Hopkins.

This is so beautiful that I am unable to find words to describe it nor to describe what I'm feeling whilst listening. I am in shock.

So if some ordinary person had composed it and approached Herr Rieu, we would have never heard it!!😢

One of the greatest performers of his generation. Imagine if he had continued composing. I think he would be the next Johann Straus. This is absolutely beautiful, and who better to perform it than the master, André Rieu. I love watching him hum along to his waltz. He never forgot it. Sir Anthony Hopkins the waltz composer is still in there. Would love to hear more pieces from him in the future.

I have literally no idea how can somebody dislike this.

I know I'm about 10 years too late, but I would like to thank Andre for making Sir Anthony's dream come true. As a hobbyist composer, I know what it is like to have written what I consider my masterpiece, and finally hearing it played. Thankfully, nowadays we have software orchestras, so all the other composers who couldn't get their music played, can play it themselves, which is what I do now.

Какой восторг ! Браво Энтони ! Браво Рье ! Немыслимое счастье присутствовать на концерте вживую !

I love music and I'm here not only because of 9GAG but also because I just had to see this and listen to this again. It's just... the look of pure joy on his face is so beautiful. And the song is just wonderful!

Beyond any of my expectations.

I feel like this belongs all over the world. What a masterful piece of music.

Fenkmenalno! Obozavam ga. Za mene najbolji i najzgodniji glumac, muskarac. Bravo za kompoziciju!!! ❤❤

This waltz touches my soul every time I listen. Its like a gift to the world from heaven. Thank you Sir Anthony and thank you Andre Rieu

The world lost a great composer. But instead got a great actor.

2024 We love you Andre!!From Hellas!

Oh my God what a beautiful waltz. Mr. Anthony Hopkins , a genius like happy for you. Congratulations. God bless you Maestro Andre and JSO🎻👑😘❤️

remind me an old Disney movies

look at the comments , all admire , all written in different languages ​​as well , that's what really unites people - wonderful music . My admiration from Ukraine , Bravo masters

Has been over a decade since I first hear it and still is magical to me. Thank you all for this Amazing piece ❤

I'm sure this the happiest moment in his life.

He’s now semi retired in acting so I hope he’ll compose more. This was beautiful.

When two TRUE artists meet... MAGIC is born 👏💜👏

Atata timp,cand in aceasta lume,plina de razboaie,boli,mizerie si ură,există oameni creatori de frumos,mai avem o șansă!Mă înclin adânc,cu infinită mandrie ca sunt contemporan cu asemenea artiști!Războaiele vin si trec,oamenii se nasc și mor,dar arta rămâne veșnică! Plecăciune, maestre❤

I'm speechless! How can a person be sooo talented to write this kind of masterpiece....Thank you great actor and composer for this wonderful masterpiece .....

I just love how Sir Anthony's wife keeps smiling with love and price for him. It is such an amazing piece of music.!and Andre is playing it with absolute devotion. Wonderful!!

Absolutely Elegant, Brilliant music!

A masterpiece performed by an incredible orchestra, don't you think?

Is it just me, or does this waltz feel like it has a very Russian touch to it? It's a beautiful piece. Well done, Sir Anthony.

It goes to show you that you should never completely let go of a dream. You just never know. What a gorgeous, moving, vibrant composition.

My tribute! A good actor. A wonderful waltz. A wonderful performance by Mr. Andrè's orchestra.❤🌹🍀

Indeed! Nice, wonderful, amazing waltz music with two genius men Sir Anthony and Maestro Andre Rieu! God bless you both! ❤❤❤🎶🎵🎻🎻🎻

I always counted and love him as my grandfather because of his physical resemblance with him . Now i love him more... May he live many many long years..

He’s super cute and looks like a confident strong man who is satisfied with his life

I just learned he is a magnificent mind.. He could name this waltz as “ goosebumps waltz “ because of the level of wonderful emotions hitting us from the start to end..

Ich persönlich mag diese Art Musik nicht aber dieser Walzer ist wunderschön ich bin sprachlos ein Meisterwerk das die Welt öfter hören muss wow Sir Anthony Hopkins sollte einen Preis dafür bekommen

Did somebody else got impressed with his sincerity listening in the sense of having a live experience like never before. He is obviously talanted enough to hide his true emotions and not show a weakness. Well, he doesn´t and he didn´t... He was frightened, weak and comepletly nacked in front all these strangers - and he just embraces the moment... That is the most unique and precious quality a human can posses. My infinite bow!

Sir Anthony Hopkins and Sir André Rieu, Two of the greatest persons worthy of love and respect 💕

I watch and listen to this beauriful waltz, I am in tears of love and swirling emotion! It is an amazing piece of music!! Anthony Hopkins is amazing!! And JSO play it amazingly for him! Bless you all! ❤

Браво на сър Андре Рийо! Велик маестро,цигулар,най скъпият ми на този свят музикант! Благодаря! Благословен бъди!!

The background story had me in tears, what a wonderful journey this waltz has had. The venue and the musicians' dresses were incredible as well.

Великолепный вальс. Энтони Хопкинс очень удивил. Бесподобно играет оркестр. Полагаю что в определенный момент, который приходит когда-нибудь ко всем людям, Энтони Хопкинс сможет сказать, что лучшее, что он когда-либо сотворил в своей жизни - это написал этот вальс. И будет недалек от истины. Браво.

After a very long time I came across a masterpiece that mesmerised me. The lyrics referring to the wind is a metaphor for fate, and how it blows us around, eventually spiralling across the world and intermingling with various timelines of various people. Its a song displaying acceptance of the Butterly effect (the theory of how a small action can lead to much bigger outcome, a flap of a butterfly's rings can cause a typhoon), just like our lives, that one look, that one smile, that one greetings, that one opportunity to speak up be we ignored, the list goes on. This song made me think of how one simple sentence can lead to something drastic. My achievements, my failures, my sorrows, my experience, the love of my life and so much more came down to one simple sentence which I uttered to my cousin in 2016, and the rest, This song took care of it. Thank you so much for this song. finally learned to let go through this song, finally learned that just like we appreciate fate giving us things, we need to accept it taking things from us too. I finally, finally learned to let go, I finally managed to accept what happened. All thanks to this song. I never imagined a song could do this to me, neither did I imagined I would be up 1 am writing such a long comment on RU-vid, my comments barely go past "lol" and "Ibruh". Thank you guys. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

I listen to this at least 5 times a day, dream myself away to a magical place, reminds my of phantome of the opera. Thank you Sir Hopkins ang thank you Andre for this ❤️

Я не являюсь поклонником такой музыки, но очень понравилось. Оркестр - отличные профессионалы своего дела, акустика в зале тоже хороша. Нет мешанины звуков, прекрасно слышны отдельные инструменты. Ну и, конечно, интересно было наблюдать за самим Хопкинсом и его растроганной спутницей.Спасибо André Rieu и Энтони Хопкинсу за доствленное удовольствие. Ставлю лайк!

i can't understand why the thumbs down..it's not easy to compose classical music! and this waltz is amazing!

MISTICO SUBLIME ANDRE ! BRAVO ANTHONY HOPKINS MARAVILLOSO! QUISIERA QUE ENFOCARAN MAS A LOS MÚSICOS, TROMBONES, VIOLINES, ETC. BRILLANTE! SALUDOS DESDE CHILE 🇨🇱🇵🇸

I come here 4~5 times a year at least to see and specially listen this masterpiece. Not a classic as a whole music fan, never was, but some are just "sponge worthy"! André is a #legend

This is like a movie soundtrack! So beautiful, hats off to you Sir Anthony!

Should I stand as well...?

Gewoon prachtig, a true masterpiece👌

It's really true that his composition is thrilling! It sends down chill to my spine!! I literally cried upon hearing it for the first time!!!

im 21 and I love it! wish my family was into this kinda stuff.

Какое чудо!!! Я и не знала,что гениальный актер Энтони Хопкинс ещё и замечательный композитор. Великолепный вальс! Великолепная публика!!! Спасибо Ютуб, что хоть здесь можно увидеть и услышать то, что очень любишь. Браво!!!

Piękne wykonanie Walca Sir Anthony Hopkinsa przez uwielbianego , utalentowanego Mistrza André Rieu oraz JSO,sprawiają,że muzyka wnika głęboko do serca❤❤❤

Благодарен и восхищен красотой музыки в слаженности всего значительно-музыкального коллектива несущего счастье, радость, надедежды, улыбки, настроение. Рвд всегда празднику души. Люди от Бога испоогяющие любое произведение музыкальное. Сплочерность коллектива, слаженность и любовь к музыке делают все музыкальнык произведения шедверами. Можно сравнить с алмазом горящем в лучах Солнца. Горение и игра - бесконечны. Глубина музыки безупречна, что рождает счастье всех людей в зале слушающих и тех людей кто видит и слышит через время.

I really don`t know what i should say but let me try to explain what this does to me because i want to share this special moment which it was for me. Iàm not really familiar with classic music (tried to play the Schneewaltzer when i was 10 and learning to play keyboard in the 80`s) but i love Music and i can feel it because iàm a hypersensible person. Now i`am 47 years old and sitting here at my breakfast table with my wife, playing this song and i was sitting here with tears in my eyes rolling down my face, not much but...yes. I have goosebumps on my whole body, listening to this music and seeing Sir Anthony Hopkins how he enjoy it so much listening to this masterpiece of composition played by the best Man Andre Rieu with his outstanding Orchestra. Nobody could transport this feelings better than Andre Rieu and his Orchestra. Iàm deeply impressed what Sir Anthony Hopkins had composed, a masterpie in my mind which touch the soul. You just don`t compose a masterpiece like this... it came from the bottom of the heart and soul and thats the reason why it has an impact like it has and iàm sitting here with tears in my eyes. Iam pretty sure that none of this great human beeings nether Sir Anthony Hopkins nor Andre Rieu is reading my post but it doesn`t matter because i just wan`t to share and express my feelings because i was surprised myself. Thank you for this special moment which it was for me Sir Anthony Hopkins and Andre Rieu with his outstanding Orchestra. All the best to both of you from the bottom of my heart!

Сэр Энтони Хопкинс гений! И это бесспорно!

So soulful... so melodious , just a perfect score for a scne with 2 love lorn people , who are drowned in eyes of each other , going through emotions that can hardly be put in words, feeling the warmth and love emenate from their lover , radiating waves after waves of pure love all around. Like the title Waltz goes on , the love goes on and on with 2 souls entiwned in each other forever and beyond

I come here with tear each time……… Miracle………… Oh Sir………….

The beginning and end, so much melancholy. I love it.

Pure brilliance.

Welch eine wunderbare Komposition, von einem wunderbaren Mann komponiert und Orchester in höchster Güte in die Welt getragen. Mein Herz hüpft ♥ Danke dafür. In Liebe und Gottes Segen Sandro ... Gottes Segen benötigt es eigentlich nicht zu wünschen, denn davon tragt ihr viel in Euch und nach Außen :-)

Diese Klänge gehen mir durch Mark und Bein! Absoluter Respekt!

One of the reasons it's so perfect is because they know what can happen if one of them plays a wrong note

Sentimental, Emotional, Perfect.. What else!! Oh God!! I love those two men..
