Rufus Wainwright Performs At Count Basie Theater 2/12
by BWW News Desk
- Feb 12, 2009
Rufus Wainwright is one of the most interesting singer/songwriters of his generation. Rolling Stone called his 1998 debut one of the Best Albums of the Year, and named him Best New Artist of the Year. He has recorded five albums of original music, several EPs, and contributed to numerous soundtracks (Brokeback Mountain, Moulin Rouge, Shrek) and compilations (Live at the World Caf?). His latest, Release the Stars, debuted at #23 and went Gold. He has toured with Tori Amos, Sting, Ben Folds, and Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Tour. The Metropolitan Opera has commissioned him to write an opera. In 2006 he sold out Carnegie Hall twice, performing the entire Judy Garland concert album recorded there in 1961. His music, described as 'popera' and 'baroque pop,' often features just his beautiful tenor with piano or guitar (he plays both), but increasing employs full rock band instrumentation as well as symphony orchestra to deal with themes like love and unrequited love ('This Love Affair'), family ('Dinner at Eight'), religion ('Agnus Dei,' 'Gay Messiah'), distant places ('Sanssouci') substance abuse ('Go Or Go Ahead') school ('Millbrook') and celebrity and its consequences ('Matinee Idol').
This is a special, solo acoustic evening.
