 Rufus
Wainwright’s current international tour features a lovingly detailed,
musically varied tour-de-force, which has been garnering praise from
critics in Europe and The United States. Mick Conmy of the BBC Online
said, “This was not just a gig; this was an evening of theatre, drama,
and high camp cabaret. His voice wraps you up in a soft comfort
blanket of melancholy reverie and the songs ache of passion, angst and
warmth. Rufus is the bravest performer I have ever seen and his career
trajectory soars ever higher.”
The tour is in support of his latest and fifth album, 2007’s Release
the Stars. It’s a gorgeous record which features in his current set
list, and has been receiving four-star reviews wherever it lands.
Rufus Wainwright is one of those artists whose appeal continues to grow
steadily and yet at a great pace, sweeping up new fans and inspiring
his peers every step of the way. For example, what do Michael Stipe,
David Byrne, Elton John, Scissor Sisters, Nelly Furtado, Keane, Neil
Tennant and K.D Lang have in common? They all love Rufus Wainwright –
and live in concert you will too.
