ABOUT THIS EPISODE
It’s a real privilege this week to talk to one of the world’s most complete musicians, Rufus Wainwright, beaming in from a Philadelphia hotel room to join hosts, Wise Music group CEO and Creative Director Dave Holley and Gill Graham. In this fascinating chat we discover how a guitar case came to be Rufus’ first crib, the key difference between critics and composers and why “if there is no turmoil in the process it’s probably not a very good piece”, and a passion for opera bringing forth two majors works for the stage among a myriad of other gems and revelations. Unmissable.
