Product description

Product description

2007 two CD set. On June 14, 2006, Rufus Wainwright took to the stage to recreate the Greatest Show of All Time in honor of the Greatest Show of All Time: Judy Garland's legendary 1961 concert at Carnegie Hall. He recreated the entire show song-for-song in the very same venue it was recorded at. Garland fanatics feared a fiasco, but the show was a triumph. His sophisticated act of homage to his hero was both a loving tribute and an arch commentary on the original, featuring classics like 'Over The Rainbow', 'Come Rain Or Come Shine' and 'Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart'. Backed by a 36-piece orchestra and arranged by Broadway's famed Stephen Oremus (Wicked, Avenue Q), Rufus's vocal talent soars over those classic melodies.

Amazon.co.uk

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

    I have a couple of Rufus Wainwright Albums and also the original Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall so was interested to have a listen. It is a fantastic album. Where Judy chats, Rufus chats. He adds a bonus track Get Happy at the end what sums up the album. It is a superb album. In the album sleeve notes you can see a photo of Judy on stage with Martha and Loudon Wainwright II in the audience. I can see why he has so much affection for this project. Strongly recommend but also listen to the original Judy Garland album which was recorded in April 1961. 45 years earlier

    I wasn't sure about this album, from reading the reviews on here. Got it anyway and LOVE IT. Can't stop listening to it. It's touching, greatly sung, but also very funny in parts - and very uplifting! I also have to say the actual recording sound is of amazing quality. If you hate rufus wainwright, of course don't bother, but if you like his voice and are open to some entertainment, I think you may well love it too!

    Rufus's voice doesn't suit any of these songs! In fact I don't really like any of the songs anyway! Apart from Over the Rainbow andhe murdered that!
    I first started liking Rufus when I heard Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk, and I would say that I am a fan but this is terrible! All the songs sound the same and his voice can't take the pace! Sorry Rufus....

    5.0 out of 5 stars Et si Rufus était la réincarnation de Judy?
    Reviewed in France on 5 December 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Et si Rufus était la réincarnation de Judy? Telle est la question que je me suis posé en visionnant le dvd et en écoutant ensuite le cd sans les images. Rufus est un songwriter de génie, ses textes sont magiques, sa musique aussi. Mais quand il reprend le vieux répertoire il est aussi à l'aise que sur ses titres, vieilles chansons françaises ou Judy Garland. Ce qu'il fait avec les chansons de cette grande star est incroyable, un orchestre énorme qui le pousse, son aisance et sa maitrise totale du répertoire, son aisance vocale sidérante, rien n'est moyen on peut user de tous les superlatifs pour parler de ce spectacle. Sa mère et sa sœur, 2 artistes reconnues sont sur scène, l'accompagnent et le regard tendre de maman est intense sur son rejeton lorsqu’elle parcourt les touches de son piano. Rufus est maniéré, gay revendiqué mais surtout artiste génial. S'arrêter à ces détails de tabloïd lorsqu’il est décrit est ridicule. Rufus est un grand, reprendre le légendaire spectacle de Judy Garland dans son intégralité est une prouesse, un acte de dévotion à la musique.
    Et ses disques de compos persos sont à la musique actuelle ce que furent ceux de Elton John et Bernie Taupin dans les années 70.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Judy + Rufus + Geffen = Broadway
    Reviewed in the United States on 9 December 2007

    Did you hear there is a new Musical in America? Judy is alive again through the efforts, expense and talents of Rufus! With Phil Ramone as producer, on the label of our well respected David Geffen, lead by Director/Conduter Stephen Oremus with his impeccable 36 piece band what we have here is a Broadway Musical created by Judy Garland. Therefore, Judy comes to life again and can do a run on Broadway for years. It took the insight of Rufus to see that of course. The research and getting the rights for all the songs and music in the order Judi created them was, I'm sure, a pain-staking task for Rufus. Yet, with a smile, laugh and lush music Rufus takes control and is morphed into Judy with gestures, jokes and dead on accuracy. He of course does not sound like Judy...does anyone? There would be a line of fantastic Broadway Divas lined up to play this role. Judy's show would knock the socks off Broadway and put Musicals back on Broadway with class, style and her treasured songs(unlike what they call musicals now such as Young Frankenstien).

    For all you 1 and 2 star raters I wish you could have seen what was really going on. It takes some insight to recognize genius and doing so one needs a clear head without cackling queens who never like anything but something or someone to tear apart. It's sad to see someone stuck in a box or bar. But they do.

    If Lorna Luft thinks her mother Judy Garland was paid tribute to shouldn't we all respect her opinion. If she didn't like it we'd have had cause to worry but she again knows when a star is out shining, and it's her mom. You can see Lorna on Rufus! Does Judy Live at the London Palladium

    I was fortunate enough to be able to get both the CD and DVD and then bought all Rufus' CDs. I also am lucky enough to have a perfect sound system and TV to see the up-coming Judy Broadway Musical on.Bose Lifestyle 28 Series III DVD Home Entertainment System - BlackSharp Aquos LC46D64U 46" 1080p LCD HDTV

    I applaud the 5 star reviewers whom were excellent in their review of Rufus and how they saw the many angles of our proud and out Rufus. May I add how handsome Rufus looked. A yummy delight for sure. Rufus is one talented man. I feel priveleged to be his fan. Rufus, Rufus, Rufus pays praise and tribute to our Judy, Judy, Judy. This simply is what it's all about.

    Lange Zeit sperrte ich mich, Rufus Wainwrights Wiederauflage von Judy Garlands großartigem Konzert zu kaufen. Mir als ganz großem Garland Fan, deren Musik mich seit Jahrzehnten durch alle Höhen und Tiefen begleitet, ist Rufus` Interpretation nun aber doch ein genauso großer Hochgenuss wie die Aufnhame von 1961 - DEM Konzert in Judy Garlands langer Karriere. Bislang dachte ich, Gutes kann man doch nicht besser machen, oder? Phantastisches lässt nicht wiederholen, oder?
    Nun sah ich Rufus Wainwright dieser Tage live und war begeistert. Seine Stimme ist ausdrucksstark, tragend und eigen. Wenn das nicht die perfekten Voraussetzungen sind, sich an Judy Garland zu wagen...
    Und so schuf Wainwright etwas ganz Eigenes, obwohl er bis auf die letzte Note Judys 61er Konzert faksimilierte. Selbst Judy Garlands Fehler in "You go to my head" greift Wainwright auf, als er vermeintlich an der gleichen Stelle den Text vergisst. Es ist ein großes Vergügen, ihm zuzuhören, er rührt gleichermaßen an wie sein bislang unübertroffenes Vorbild. Letztlich ist Rufus Wainwright eine derart große Hommage an eine der besten Stimmen ever gelungen, dass mir nur noch zu sagen bleibt: Chapeau!
