Documentary about the noted violinist. Born in Maastricht in the Netherlands, Rieu became enchanted at a young age by the music of Johan Strauss and made it is mission to popularise this, what was then seen as, unfashionable classical music. Half a century later, Rieu tours the world with his own orchestra, wowing sold-out stadiums with Strauss's music.
