Suitable for General AudiencesOn May 17, 2012, Rufus Wainwright recorded a private concert in an historic Greenwich Village church. On March 7, Wainwright's inspired performance, which was filmed and recorded for PBS' "Live from the Artists Den," is released on CD, DVD & Blu-ray. The 69-minute Rufus Wainwright: Live From The Artists Den concert release includes five songs that were not included in the broadcast.
"Candles" is the closing song on Wainwright's acclaimed 2012 album, Out of the Game, but it was the perfect a cappella opener for his "Live from the Artists Den" performance at the magnificent Church of the Ascension, on Manhattan's lower Fifth Avenue. Built in 1841, the National Historic Landmark church was a breathtaking backdrop for the gorgeous tale of searching for a place to light a memorial for his late mother, singer Kate McGarrigle.
Resplendent in tails and gold sequined pants, Wainwright performed 16 songs, paying tribute to Kate during the set with an emotional, solo piano rendition of her "On My Way to Town," before bringing out super-producer Mark Ronson, who worked with Wainwright on Out of the Game. Wainwright and his band, with Ronson on guitar, close the show with the rousing, disco-flavored "Bitter Tears."
