Release the Stars Recorded in Berlin and executive produced by the Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant, Rufus Wainwright's fifth album offers an ounce of restraint from the man that dressed up as Sir Lancelot's crossed girlfriend Lady Shallott on the cover of his last.

A Master man
He is a genious, The music is just there is no words for it. It is just beautiful all the way around.

Want Two
The product was in excellent condition. Rufus Waingwright is a genius, adorable to watch and can't get his music out of my head. There was a DVD with this purchase along with a CD. Both were excellent. I am crazy about this entertainer!

My Second Favorite Rufus
Rufus Wainwright demonstrates his range of skills from bordering on operatic vocals and orchestration on "Agnus Dei" to pop sounds in "The One You love". One of Rufus' greatest talents is creating musical moods appropriate for expressing the story told in his songs. He also draws us in to an assortment of stories and feelings. Amongst the best on this on are Agnus Dei, Peach Trees and The Art Teacher. I appreciate his vocals and orchestrations throughout but the lyrics on about every other song are pretty lurid. But if you love Rufus, you've gotta have it. My favorite Rufus is "Poses [Bonus Track]." But the song "Going to a Town" on his new cd "Release the Stars" is one of the best songs of 2007, reflecting on the impressions one gets lately from spending time in America and anywhere else in the world.

essential
Rufo is one of the most important artists of the last years and this work is, in only a word, beautiful!

And again . . .
This CD is a masterpiece. There is no denying it. Want one and Want two are pieces of work that Rufus will have a hard time creating again. You really do have to listen to both back to back - which may take about 3 hours since they are pretty long, but these are definitly works of art. I encourage all to purchase and listen. I've given both as a set as gifts. It takes a while to warm up to because it's very different. But Rufus displays his fragilness in these two works and backs them up with his strong artistic, soul searching, bold self at the same time. Partake!
