Rufus Wainwright: ‘TAKE ALL MY LOVES: 9 SHAKESPEARE SONNETS’ 4월 22일 출시

헐~ 왠열~ 도이치 그라모폰은 클래식계 명품 레이블인 걸로 아는데 루퍼스가 이 레이블을 통해 앨범을 내다니 대단하다.

All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu 앨범 때도 셰익스피어 소네트가 있었다. 그 땐 그냥 루퍼스 혼자 솔로 보컬에 피아노였는데.

이 앨범은 구성이 좀 다르네. 현악 파트 연주자들은 이름을 보아하니 한쿡살암덜? 반갑다 ㅋㅋㅋ

본인이 만든 오페라도 있을 정도로, 내 기준으로 보자면 루퍼스는 모던시대의 모짤트 같은 사람이다.

올 봄에 울나라 오면 요거 무대에서 맞보기라도 볼 수 있을지 몰겠다. 

그렇잖아도 어제 트위터랑 인스타에 눈 부분만 빼곰히 보여주면서 "내일 알랴주겠다~" 고 하더니 그게 이거였네.

소네트(sonnet): 10개의 음절로 구성되는 시행 14개가 일정한 운율로 이어지는 14행시

Released 22 April on Deutsche Grammophon
Florence Welch, Helena Bonham Carter & William Shatner Guest

Rufus Wainwright celebrates the 400^th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death in typically dramatic fashion by releasing a unique collection of nine sonnets in stunning performances by both actors and vocalists. Set for release on 22 April on Deutsche Grammophon, it also marks the first collaboration between Rufus and Marius de Vries since they co-produced the epic Want albums.

The performers on this new recording include vocalists Florence Welch, Martha Wainwright, Anna Prohaska and, of course, Rufus himself, as well as actors Siân Phillips, Helena Bonham Carter, Carrie Fisher and William Shatner.

The seeds for this album were sown back in 2009, when director Robert Wilson asked Rufus to compose music for his Shakespeare’s Sonnets production, first staged at the Berliner Ensemble. The San Francisco Symphony subsequently commissioned Rufus to orchestrate five of the sonnets, which they premiered in 2010.

Three of the sonnets featured on Take All My Loves first appeared on Rufus Wainwright’s 2010 album Songs For Lulu, albeit in different versions. These are: ‘When Most I Wink’ (Sonnet 43), ‘For Shame’ (Sonnet 10) and ‘A Woman’s Face’ (Sonnet 20).

‘For me, recording this album has been a marriage made in heaven, as it combines my love of classical music with my love of pop music,’ says Rufus. ‘It’s literally historically fun. And made all the better by working again with Marius.’
