Rufus Wainwright's "I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Wainwright Does Weill" is a compelling tribute album that explores the sophisticated songbook of German-American composer Kurt Weill. Known for his theatrical artistry and vocal mastery, Wainwright delivers a fresh and deeply personal interpretation of Weill's works, celebrated for their fusion of classical, cabaret, and jazz influences. This album captures the live performance from May 2023 at New York City's Cafe Carlyle, marking Wainwright's first full-scale exploration of Weill's repertoire. Inspired by decades of admiration — including early immersion in Teresa Stratas' famed Weill recordings — Wainwright collaborates with the Pacific Jazz Orchestra under Chris Walden to expand the orchestral depth of these iconic songs.
