Live From The Heart Of Europe [includes DVD]

'Guido's Orchestra - Live From the Heart of Europe' was recorded in June 2009 exclusively for PBS, in Europe at the point where Holland, Belgium and Germany meet. 6,500 people came to join Guido and his guests at this stunning venue on a beautiful summer night. Having captured the heart of fans around the world, Guido is finally bringing his music to American audiences. Guido has performed with many world-famous artists including Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli, Marco Borsato, Petula Clark and many more. In October 2009, Guido performed with Diana Ross in two spectacular concerts in Holland. Guido's Orchestra combines famous classical works (Beethoven's "Ode To Joy"; Puccini's "E Lucevan E Stelle"), pop songs, and movie themes, as well as original compositions. He blends romantic strings with rock guitar sounds, engages in musical battles with percussion groups, and draws exquisitely sweet melodies from the his own violin to charm and mesmerize.
