Earlier this year, André Rieu's “Waltzing Matilda” entered the Australian Album Charts at No. 1. Since then his New Zealand fans have been asking for this album to be released in New Zealand. Finally local fans can get their own Special New Zealand Edition of the album featuring a moving version of 'Pokarekare Ana' recorded especially for his New Zealand fans.
Sumptuously arranged for voice, solo violin, orchestra and choir, the album features songs such as Botany Bay, Waltzing Matilda, Tie My Kangaroo Down and Home Among the Gum Trees.
'Waltzing Matilda' is expected to surpass the success of his six CD boxset, 'The 100 Most Beautiful Melodies', which reached No. 5 in the NZ Album Charts.
