2009, Decca
Having wowed and dazzled audiences on his acclaimed and celebrated 2007 "Release the Stars" tour, Rufus Wainwright releases his eagerly anticipated new, live CD Milwaukee at Last!!!.
The tour lasted nearly eight months, launching in London's Old Vic for a week of triumphant sold out shows in May 2007 and officially brought to a close at New York City's Radio Music Hall on Valentine's Day.
"Release the Stars" is the focal point of the new live CD, with other highlights coming from Rufus' Want One record, a scintillating performance of Noel Coward's "If Love Were All" from his "Rufus Does Judy" show, plus a spine tingling a cappella version of celtic song "Macushla."
The DVD was shot by the legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles who, with his brother David, formed a team whose "Direct Cinema" works include Salesman, Gimme Shelter and Grey Gardens.
