Editorial Review

It was a bit of a surprise to say the least when US singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright announced his intention to recreate Judy Garland’s famous 1961 album, Judy at Carnegie Hall. Not only was the singer to recreate the album song-for-song, but he also arranged to do so in the same venue: the prestigious and legendary Carnegie Hall. While some predicted a disaster--Garland’s selection of tunes, after all, are not what you’d describe as Wainwright’s "bag"–-the night turned out to be an unprecedented success, underlining the singer’s versatility and his ability to put on a genuinely engaging show. For those that couldn’t/didn’t make it, Live at Carnegie Hall captures the entire experience, from Wainwright’s surprisingly good takes on songs like Gershwin’s "Do It Again" to the endearing collaborations with both Garland and Wainwright families. Backed by a 40-piece orchestra, Rufus (& co.) perform the entire songlist with aplomb, dropping in some tasteful twists and subtle sexuality to boot. Now that’s entertainment! --Danny McKenna
