Backed by a 36-piece orchestra, Rufus Wainwright puts on the Ritz and pays a track-by-track tribute to Judy Garland's 1961 Carnegie Hall performance, which has been dubbed the "greatest night in showbusiness history."
The impulse to follow the cues of Judy Garland’s command performance carries over to many aspects of the album.
