Rufus Wainwright

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by singer-songwriter and composer Rufus Wainwright.

Mark and Stuart are joined by singer-songwriter and composer Rufus Wainwright. Well-known for his album Poses (2001) and his Want albums of 2003-4, he's recorded seven albums of music and lots of his tracks feature in compilations and film soundtracks. He has also written a classical opera and set Shakespeare sonnets to music for a theatre piece by Robert Wilson. He's here to talk about his latest album that commemorates the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death and features nine adaptations of Shakespeare's sonnets and features guest appearances including Helena Bonham Carter, Carrie Fisher, William Shatner, Martha Wainwright, and Florence Welch.

With their trusty never-ending feature The Chain, which links together one record to another using YOUR suggestions.... And also Teatime Themetime, when you pit your musical wits to be first past that Chocolate Bourbon post and gain glory round the biscuit barrel.
