09/04/10 Rufus Wainwright, Margaret Phillips
Rufus Wainwright, composer of new opera Prima Donna, sings and plays live on the show and Sean interviews organist extraordinaire Margaret Phillips about her new Bach album.
American singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright's acclaimed new opera, "Prima Donna" has its London premiere at Sadler's Wells Theatre from 12th to the 17th of April. Rufus talks candidly to Sean about the death of his mother, legendary folk singer Kate McGarrigle, who died in January. He also speaks about his love of opera and performs a song from his new album All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu. Critically acclaimed soprano Janis Kelly reprises her role of R脙漏gine Saint Laurent and sings a passionate aria from Prima Donna.
Organist Margaret Phillips is playing a concert at the Turner Sims Concert Hall on 13th April to celebrate the release of her new CD of Bach works. She will be showcasing the famous Peter Collins organ playing works by Schumann, Bach and an all-French second half.
Presented by Sean Rafferty.
