Music reviews of Milwaukee At Last!!!

Music Review: +1/2 -- Rufus Wainwright makes himself at home on stage
Rating: 4 Stars

Rufus Wainwright's performances have often been larger than a recording studio could fully capture. His cabaret-styled vocals and opera-sized emotion are more naturally at home on stage, and captured live they resound not only with unbridled emotion but with the interplay of a performer and his audience. His tour of the classic American songbook on 2007's Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall is now eclipsed as a live document by this tour through eight original compositions and covers of Noel Coward's "If Love Were All" (borrowed from the Garland set list), and the early twentieth-century Irish love song "Macushla." Wainwright draws his own material almost entirely from 2007's Release the Stars, closing the album with 2004's "Gay Messiah." His measured, emotional vocals hold down center stage, supported by rock band arrangements that would sound at home in a stage theater's pit. He soars up and dips down with glissandos, reels listeners in with intimately quiet sections, and drives his lyrics home with dramatically held notes. The dynamic range speaks to both his talent as a live performer, and the raptness with which his audience is willing to pay attention. The result offers a great deal more delicacy, nuance and power than the average live album, and it provides a startling accurate portrayal of Wainwright's magic. 4-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

Description of Milwaukee At Last!!!

Recorded at Milwaukee's Pabst Theater in August 2007 this 10 song CD highlights selections from the full concert DVD that will be released simultaneously.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!!!'. Rufus Wainwright's `Release The Stars' world tour lasted nearly eight months. Launching in London's Old Vic for a week of triumphant sold out shows in May 2007; the tour was taken around the world before being officially brought to a close in 2008 at Radio City Music Hall, New York City on Valentines 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 acapella version of celtic song `Macushla'. Rufus Wainwright was fully complemented on his `Release The Stars' tour by his epic 7-piece band. Jeff Hill (Bass), Jack Petruzzelli (Guitarist), C.J. Camerieri (Trumpet), Will Vinson (Saxophonist), Gerry Leonard (Guitarist), Louis Schwadron (French Horn) and Matt Johnson (Drums).
