Rufus Wainwright now has a large catalog that he can draw from. For the concert in a Manhattan church, Wainwright chose sixteen pieces to suit the venue. That worked out well, although other songs would probably also have come into their own; the church turns out to be a perfect place for Rufus Wainwright's grand vocal lines. He says it himself at the beginning of the DVD: "For someone who likes to
… explore the elasticity of the voice, the church is your greatest friend." The concert contains hits like One Man Guy and Going To A Town and the performance is, as we are used to, flawless. In addition to a wonderful interview with Rufus Wainwright, the extras also pay a lot of attention to the location, such as an extensive interview with the pastor. Impressive DVD from an impressive artist. (HF)more
