Live Tribute to Kurt Weill on Double LP!

Rufus Wainwright's I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Wainwright Does Weill is a compelling tribute album that delves into the rich and complex songbook of German-American composer Kurt Weill. Known for his theatrical flair and vocal prowess, Wainwright brings a unique interpretation to Weill's compositions, which are celebrated for their fusion of classical, cabaret, and jazz elements. Premiering in May 2023 at New York City's Café Carlyle, "Wainwright Does Weill" marked Wainwright's first extensive exploration of Weill's repertoire.

Rufus Wainwright's fascination with Kurt Weill's music goes back for decades — in his early twenties he wore out the vinyl grooves of Teresa Stratas' famous Weill album. While Weill's musical influence can be heard in Wainwright's own songs, he had never dedicated an entire evening to singing the German musician's songs, until now. With the Pacific Jazz Orchestra under the baton of Chris Walden, he has expanded the orchestral palette for his approach to Kurt Weill.

"The songs of Kurt Weill have long haunted my imagination and remain solidly mysterious. Be it the opening trap of 'Mack the Knife' or closing explosion of 'Lost in the Stars,' this wondrous musical journey began, continues and will never end." – Rufus Wainwright
