Rufus Wainwright

Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra

A voice that carries over mountains and valleys on windless days, simply demands the accompaniment of a large orchestra.

"Opera is my religion," says Rufus Wainwright. From the mouth of a different singer-songwriter, that might sound posturing, but Wainwright is in a class of his own. His "richly orchestrated, warm pop songs of sometimes cathedral-like size" (NRC) and his "voice that carries over mountains and valleys on windless days" (Volkskrant) simply demand the accompaniment of a large orchestra. This concert gives him that - just once.
